I Became a Soul Eater

From high above, I looked down at Utuka’s henchmen endlessly popping out of the hole. In the distance on both sides, the military camps of the Propen Imperial Army and the Eastern Continent Allied Army could be seen in the western continent.

Hopefully this method will give the world a break for as long as possible.

With that thought in mind, I started dropping the aeromytin ore around the hole in the subspace.

The aeromine stone dropped from the air had the effect of a rockfall attack by itself. Many of the objects that escaped from the hole were suddenly hit by stones pouring down from above, and their fates changed.

But it was only then that the real effect came out. As soon as the aeromine stones fell to the ground, they began to vaporize little by little as soon as they came into contact with the air. And the poisonous mist that came from there hit Utuka’s henchmen.

I gathered a bunch of wind spirits and asked them to control the poisonous mist so it wouldn’t spread too far. I don’t think there will be much damage even if I don’t do this, but I’m preparing for one in case.

The effect was far greater than expected. Enemies who inhaled Aeromytine’s poisonous smoke grabbed their necks and began to fall.

The effect of Aeromytin poison is precisely to petrify the lungs. I was still watching from above as they collapsed in agony, their lungs stiffening and not breathing.

In an instant, tens of thousands of souls were beginning to soar into the sky. It is a landscape that has been seen for hundreds of years and is now familiar. Even though they were insignificant little souls, it was like a festival for the little alter egos that had just been created.

Huge cheers rang out from both camps watching the situation while dozens of clones eagerly flew and absorbed souls.

Most of the jokjok protruding from the hole fell down and those who survived did not move normally. That much was nothing to the human army, which had been holding back well until now.

The situation seemed to be stabilizing, so I went back to Argin. Now, even without Argin or Shark on the front line, it was enough to block them.

“Thank you for your effort.”

Argin greeted me calmly.

“How about going back for a while?”

Argin doesn’t have to be here anymore. By the time the effect of the dropped aeromytin wears off, I will have to come alone and supplement it. Of course, only until the enemy has a way to counter the poison. But what humanity needs right now is time.

“You must be kidding, right?”

Argin laughs. Even if I die, I don’t want to go home. Even when I was married, I thought I would die if I fell for a while, but how did this happen?

“Then Shaq want to go back? If the enemy finds a way, they will have to come back anyway.”

“What is Howard doing?”

“You’re not doing anything. You seem to be thinking a lot.”

Shaq seems to have been thinking of sparring with Howard, but Howard hasn’t been doing anything for a long time now. I don’t know if he has become like that now, but he hasn’t taken any food or water. If you go and talk to them, they answer, but they answer in a casual way. In this case, it is better to just leave it alone.

“Then I will wait here too.”

When Shaq said he would stay, the face of Duke Itebal, who was watching quietly from the side, brightened.

“I need help from Duke Itebal.”

I talked a lot with Duke Itebal. Even if the enemy is hit by a poisonous attack and is now slowed down, sooner or later, perhaps even from tomorrow, an object that has adapted to the poison will come out, or a more powerful enemy will come out. He explained this to Duke Itebal in detail.

And the most important thing is that the West Continent needs to be united like the East Continent. Right now, if it wasn’t for Argin and Shark, the Propene Empire alone couldn’t stop it. But what if a stronger enemy comes out?

In preparation for that time, it was necessary to gather the strength of the entire western continent. You can ask William to help you. However, the important thing is whether the Propene Empire accepts the entry of another country’s army into its territory.

“Leave it to me. I will absolutely convince you, Your Majesty.”

It felt like Duke Itebal’s demeanor had changed in a strange way, but he decided not to care because it had changed for the better. Duke Itebal entrusted his duties to the second-in-command and immediately returned to the ecliptic of the Propene Empire.

And I, too, returned home. As soon as I returned, a creature that was now quite heavy slammed my body.

“Dad!”

“Oops!”

Regardless of whether there is a crisis in the world or not, Lena is bright today. When he fell down after receiving Lena with a slightly exaggerated gesture, Lena, who climbed on top, smiled and made a triumphant expression.

Lena and Nivea were staying in the Akasha territory, not in the new continent. Even though Lena had not been here for a while, the crops in the Akasha estate were already improving. However, it does not mean that crop conditions in the new continent suddenly deteriorated.

Lena’s ability had some persistence. In other words, Lena is saying that moving around and living in moderation is beneficial to this world.

In the evening, while having dinner with my family, I explained to Nivea what had happened today. It was the least consideration that a husband who suddenly disappeared every day and didn’t know where he was or what he could do.

“Then sooner or later the witches will have to go there too.”

“I don’t know when that will be, but maybe it should”

Until Utuka’s main body comes out, perhaps all of humanity will have to do everything in their power. Witches cannot be left out.

“I should have told you beforehand.”

“It would be better. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to select the number of people to be dispatched in advance.”

This is just the beginning. After I finished eating, I went back to the ecliptic and met William. William also did not take this situation lightly due to the continued reports of the intelligence department. He already knew that the entire East Continent was united to block it.

“Do you think the West Continent should do the same?”

“That’s right. And it should be as soon as possible. Even if we prepare from now on, it will take a long time for troops to reach the front.”

“If we concentrate our troops there, the rear will be empty, but it seems that people with evil thoughts may come out.”

“I will take responsibility for that part.”

There are already people who think that way. As the propene empire concentrated its forces, the defense of the border immediately became lax, and there were those who embracing useless thoughts among the heads of countries near the propene empire.

From the point of view of the Aether Empire, whose borders were longer than any other country, it was inevitable to be more concerned.

“Then I’ll trust Count Akasha for that part.”

After receiving William’s confirmation, he met Eltis, the leader of the continent’s best assassination group, the Blue Moon.

Eltis was also a strong force, but I wanted to entrust him with managing the rear rather than standing in the front line.

I handed over to Eltis a list of many nobles and royalty who were willing to take advantage of the chaos to do useless things.

“There are quite a few this time.”

“Weeds must be rooted out from the pasture.”

Eltis, who was looking through the list expressionlessly, suddenly clicked his tongue.

“There is one noble missing from the list.”

“Who are you talking about?”

“It’s called Argin Tempest.”

Since when did this vampire see his son-in-law as his top priority for assassination?

“I’m having a hard time on the front line, so please look at me.”

“Tsk! How did you bring a guy like that into your son-in-law?”

However, even if he wanted to assassinate, Argin had risen to a high level.

“The Vampires are not going to be recruited this time. Instead, help stabilize the rear.”

“All right.”

After seeking cooperation from Eltis, when I returned home, Lena had already passed out and only Nivea was still waiting for me.

“You should have slept first.”

“I felt like I would come back today.”

It was Nivea who spoke very poignant words with a gentle face. It’s not yet, but won’t the day come when I, like Argine, will be afraid to come home?

Utuka’s henchmen died without any power due to the continuous bombardment of Aeromytine.

After a week, the endless pouring from the hole suddenly stopped. Nothing was sticking out of the hole anymore.

It may look good at first glance, but I thought the opposite. This is a sign that something is going to be done on the other side.

From noble mtl dot com.

Fortunately, the Emperor of the Propene Empire, thanks to Duke Itebal’s active persuasion, decided to accept foreign troops into his territory, and the Aether Empire decided to dispatch a large force as if in response.

The main fighters who bowed their heads for a while inside the Aether Empire shouted active approval as if they had waited. They needed a place to radiate their strength, and it didn’t matter if the target wasn’t a foreign country.

As the Aether Empire took the lead and propaganda from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Aether Empire continued, other countries also began to declare their participation in the war.

And as if they had waited, many royal families and nobles who were looking for a gap in other countries were swept away by Blue Moon’s activity. Much of it was going according to my plan.

In the gap where the enemy did not come out of the hole, rather more troops were flocking to the front line.

The East Continent’s Impellas had already secured and brought many of the talented people from the list I had given them.

I didn’t stop there. The Nautilus, which was traveling between the New Continent and the Tempest Territory, was turned to the front line. Many modified humans created by Setas were boarding there.

As for the airship, the Nautilus 2 was being manufactured for quite some time. And because the launching ceremony was not long, the Nautilus 1 could be turned into a wire.

I ordered that the production of airships continue, even if they become somewhat smaller than Unit 2.

Just as I had fun with the Aeromite drop from the sky, there is no law telling the enemy not to do it. It was necessary to secure the right to supply in advance in a situation where it was unknown which enemy would come out of that hole in the future.

Power was steadily added, and high walls began to be built on both fronts.

It’s been three months that nothing has come out of the dimensional hole. In both camps, where there were so many forces gathered, problems began to arise after a long time without fighting.

I calmed down the turmoil by providing food resources overflowing on the New Continent to both camps.

And as if he had waited, there was a change in the dimensional hole. The hole got bigger. Before that was a hole about 5 meters high, which doubled in size.

What it means is simple. That means twice as big or twice as many enemies.

As the hole changed, both camps began to get nervous. The hole got bigger and the enemy finally came out at dawn on the second day.

“Keeeh!”

With a sharp cry announcing its appearance, a monster with a similar appearance to a wyvern jumped out of the hole at lightning speed.

As expected, a flying monster appeared. As soon as he noticed the appearance of the monster, he lay down at home and jumped up to get ready and move to the battlefield.

As soon as I arrived, I sliced up a few with space cutting and went into the Nautilus waiting in the sky and gave the order to attack.

The main guns on the Nautilus began to spit fire. It is a weapon of the Nautilus made with technology that is too excessive for humans yet.

Existing main guns had the disadvantage of being discarded after being used once or twice, but after several years of improvement, the power was drastically reduced, but the durability was increased.

However, even with that drastically reduced power, there was no problem in dealing with the monsters that were popping out.

The monsters, almost disintegrating in the air, crashed to the ground under the attack of the main cannons that continuously spewed fire.

However, there was a limit to the firepower of the Nautilus. That part is a problem that the people gathered here have to solve.

A gigantic sword made of aura rose from the ground nearly 100 meters high. When everyone was mesmerized by the near-amazing appearance, Shaq swung the sword and the monsters it touched were sliced like tofu.

However, even a shark could not maintain that skill for a long time. When Shaq exhausted his strength and retreated, the attack of the people who were boosted by Shark’s activity began.

There were thousands of wizards gathered here. A lot of magic began to draw pictures across the dawn sky.

When the wizards got tired, the Nautilus came out, and when the main guns of the Nautilus overheated, Shark and Argin came out and took turns dealing with the enemy.

For now, it blocks the enemy like that, but it’s not a perfect method. Even if Shark and Argin survive somehow, the Nautilus is a machine that is not strange if it breaks down at any time, and the wizard’s unit is bound to get tired over time.

And after a few days, the situation that I feared happened. The limitations of the Nautilus’s main guns were beginning to come.
