The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

At this moment, General Roas's daughter, Kemias Svlokoski, walked in. After glancing at Kaguga, she said, "Go and gather five hundred soldiers now. Tell them that the Empress needs them to give their lives, that the Empire needs them."

Upon hearing this, Kagaku was shocked. He knew all too well how fiercely protective the elves were of their own. And for this female elf, Camias, to demand the lives of five hundred elven soldiers without hesitation, even when her father, General Roas, was wavering, was truly terrifying. Perhaps Eldridge, the foreign Lord of Cinder, would admire Camias's unconventional spirit, but for Kagaku, who was born and raised in Niflheim, the Duchy of Erebus, and only later joined the Church of the Deep, it was simply unacceptable…

Chapter 40 - The Deep Curse

At dawn, Kaguga and the elven mages, along with five hundred elven soldiers willing to sacrifice their lives for the Aifa Empire and their elven queen, arrived at a forest southeast of the military camp. There, they prepared to begin crafting something capable of fighting the Crystal Tree Dragon.

Out of personal motives, Kaguga entrusted the Holy Stone, imbued with the power of the Deep, to a soldier of the Elven Queen who was politically aligned with the Church of the Deep rather than with the warlike elven queen. Whether this soldier was truly loyal to Eldridge and his forces remains unknown.

"You are all defeated soldiers. Some were cowards who went to find the golem but were defeated by the natives of Tartarus. Others were cowards who fled during the siege. Your actions have disgraced your families and brought hatred to your wives and children from the other elves. So, to wash away your stain and for the sake of our Queen, you chose this path that leads us to victory. My lords, I assure you here that your deaths are of the highest honor!" Standing on a small hill, Kaguga used magic to transmit his words to the ears of all the soldiers.

"Your lives, your souls, will merge into one, becoming beings like dragons, like Lords of Cinder! You need not fear, you will become one of the strongest forces in the Empire! So now, for our victory, bring out the Holy Stones and use them!"

Upon hearing Kaguga's slightly inflammatory words, the elven soldiers immediately took out their Holy Spirit Stones.

Looking at their Holy Spirit Stones, the elves were all conflicted. After all, they were about to obediently surrender their lives and potentially be transformed into something unimaginably evil. The thought of becoming monsters, never seeing their wives and children again, and being unable to go back to them filled the elven soldiers with immense inner turmoil.

However, they quickly gritted their teeth, made up their minds, and prepared to use these Holy Spirit Stones as food to accumulate power for the elven soldier who used the Deep Holy Spirit Stone.

"Use it." Watching the elven soldiers take a deep breath and activate the Holy Spirit Stones, transforming one by one into the Divine Tree state, Kaguga couldn't help but shift his gaze to the elven soldier he had chosen and urged him on.

Upon hearing Kaguga's urging, the elven soldier also used the Holy Spirit Stone. However, his Holy Spirit Stone, infused with profound power, did not materialize; instead, it turned into a kind of mushy, muddy substance.

Watching the elven soldier melt away amidst screams and transform into a monster, the elven mages couldn't help but sigh in unison, turn their backs, and leave, lest they witness the elven soldier devouring other elven soldiers again, after all, they themselves were elves.

However, they didn't know that their act of reluctance saved them from being devoured...

Looking at the elven soldiers who had turned into black, stinking mud monsters, Kaguga pointed to the elven soldiers who had transformed into sacred trees not far away and ordered, "Eat them!"

The Mud Monster began to act upon hearing the order, but its target was not the elven soldiers, but Kaguga!

After a series of intense contractions, the Mud Monster suddenly pounced on Kaguga.

"What!?" Kaguga was shocked when the Mud Monster pounced on him and fell to the ground. He hurriedly began to cast a spell to blast the Mud Monster off him.

However, after casting the powerful Dark Soul several times, he discovered that this mud monster, which was transformed from an elven soldier, was just like the other elven soldiers who had transformed into divine trees. It was completely immune to magic, and his attacks had no effect whatsoever on the mud monster.

"You're done? Now it's my turn!"

Suddenly, a terrifying voice rang in Kaguga's mind, filling him with dread. He hurriedly cried out, "Please let me go! I can give you lots and lots of food, just let me go... Ah~!!!"

The Mud Monster ignored Kaguga's words and began to devour Kaguga's body, quickly melting Kaguga into part of itself, thus making its body a little larger.

Kaguga's death screams terrified the elves who had transformed into their divine tree forms. But since they had already used the Holy Spirit Stone and didn't have many years left to live, they gritted their teeth, rushed towards the Mud Monster, and pounced on it, letting it melt them away to obtain nourishment.

Instantly, wails, screams, and maniacal laughter echoed through the forest, scaring away all the animals and monsters in the surrounding area.

An hour later, the fusion was complete.

But the Mud Monster was gone. At this moment, only a handsome elf with an otherworldly face stood there, looking at his hands, silently contemplating something.

Suddenly, the elf burst into laughter, saying, "Hahahahaha~!!!! You ravenous scoundrels, you didn't expect this, did you? We are not dead! We have now merged into one, becoming beings comparable to dragons. After we defeat the army of the Kingdom of Miracaiser, we will devour you all without leaving a single one alive!!"

"Everyone, we should go back now."

"That's true, we should go back."

"Then let's go back!"

Standing there, the elf muttered to himself, as if there wasn't just one consciousness within his body.

But the truth is, there is indeed more than one consciousness in his body. His body contains the consciousness of all the elves in this damned plan. This body of an elf, so handsome that it seems otherworldly, is also formed by the combined power of these five hundred elves.

Because of the melting of their bodies, their bodies merged together, which also bound their souls to the same body, forcing them to be squeezed together forever, unable to break free.

It is worth mentioning that Kaguga's soul was torn to pieces by them, and he will never be able to obtain the glory that they were about to gain—the glory of defeating a god's kin! But they will accept everything he remembers, because his body is also a part of them.

-----------------------------------

After the five hundred elves had completed their fusion, they took control of their new bodies and returned to the elven army camp.

Because of his perfect appearance, he was stopped by the soldiers who had merged with the elves and were guarding the entrance to the military camp.

Upon seeing this, the fused elf couldn't help but say, "I am a soldier under the general's command, what right do you have to stop me?"

The guard frowned, sized up the fused elf, and said, "We've never heard of an elf as handsome as you in our camp. You're probably a spy sent by Miracaesar!"

As he spoke, the guard reached out to touch the handsome face of the fused elf.

The fused spirit, already harboring resentment, flew into a rage upon seeing the guard's actions. It grabbed the guard's arm and crushed it with a single, forceful squeeze.

"Ahhhhhhh! My hand! My hand..."

The guard's screams immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers in the camp, who drew their weapons and rushed out to attack the fused elf, preparing to rescue the elf guard who had laid a hand on the fused elf.

Upon seeing this, the fused elf was instantly enraged. First, he was betrayed by his fellow deserter, forced to become an experimental subject in the army's special plan to defeat the Crystal Tree Dragon. Then, because of his handsome appearance, he was stopped and groped by that perverted guard with a penchant for men. Now, his own comrades were even treating him as a spy sent by Miracaesar. This was truly intolerable!

Feeling insulted, the fused elf gritted his teeth and resolved to eliminate his ignorant brethren. So, without saying a word to the elven army, he unleashed a powerful, dark soul strike at the elven guard who had tried to harass him, killing him instantly.

Upon seeing this, the elven soldiers were all taken aback!

Because the fused elf used a powerful, deep soul, and this magic was one of the Church of the Deep's signature spells, they naturally assumed it belonged to the Church of the Deep. Therefore, an officer from the elven army stepped forward and reprimanded the fused elf: "Although you are a follower of the Church of the Deep, you are also an elf! Why do you harm your own kind? Have you forgotten that you are an elf, a member of the Empire!?"

Upon hearing this, and the elven officer's aggressive reprimand, the fused elf immediately flew into a rage and rushed towards the officer, transforming into a mud monster. It swallowed the elven officer whole and melted and absorbed him in a few moments.

Yes, the Fusion Spirit hates the Church of the Deep because it was the power of the Deep that turned him into what he is now.

"Since you don't understand us, then become one of us. That way, you'll know our past and our thoughts."

Seeing their officers being so easily devoured, the soldiers immediately shouted, "Monsters!!"

The fused elf reverted to its elf form, glared fiercely at the elf soldiers, and roared, "Shut your mouths! Or I'll eat you all!!"

Seeing the fused elf threaten to devour them, the elven soldiers immediately stopped shouting and could only stand there, watching the fused elf with utter terror, hoping in their hearts that the fused elf would only eat the elves nearby and not them. Unfortunately, the fused elf had no intention of continuing to eat, otherwise none of the elves would have escaped!

"Take me to see the general, or you'll know the consequences yourselves." The fused elf glanced at the elven soldiers and saw their fear of him. He had no desire to bother them anymore, so he told them directly that he wanted to see General Roassevlokoski.

Upon hearing that the fused elf was going to General Roas, the soldiers were stunned for a moment, then drew their weapons and charged at the fused elf. While attacking, they shouted, "You want to eat the general, then transform into his likeness, and force us to fight a desperate siege, thus wasting our lives! Let me tell you, don't even think about it! We'd rather die than let you do that!"

After dodging the attacks of those indiscriminate elven soldiers, the fused elf was about to explain when he was repeatedly pushed back by their fierce onslaught. Finally, when an elven soldier slashed his neck with a longsword, he began a massacre.

"You asked for this!" With a cold utterance, the fused elf's body began to contort, as if an energy blast was about to explode. Soon, the fused elf's body rapidly contracted during the contortionist motion, then with a deafening boom, it transformed into a vast expanse of black sludge, engulfing and devouring all the elf soldiers!

However, what displeased the fused elves was that although these elf soldiers totaled more than a thousand elves, the power they gained was only equivalent to half the power of an elf in its divine tree state, which was far too little.

Moreover, because of the desecration of the Holy Spirit Stone, the power that the fused spirit gained by devouring the spirit transformed from the sacred tree is also being lost little by little.

He knew that this was his elven god punishing him. Once this power was completely lost, he would die completely and never have a chance to be resurrected. His soul would even be punished forever!

Therefore, he must eat things that can give him more power in order to survive, such as Crystal Tree Dragons and various sub-dragons.

The closest opponent right now is naturally the Crystal Tree Dragon, and the reason he's in this state is to kill it. He's not afraid of the Crystal Tree Dragon in a one-on-one fight, even with its crystal domain and crystal breath. The problem is, if his opponent is the Crystal Tree Dragon combined with the Miracaesar Kingdom's army, then it's a different story.

Moreover, Lu Ming, who knows what the power of the Dark One is, will definitely know his weakness, so he can't fight against ten thousand alone. He needs other elves to help him!

Therefore, the words of those elven soldiers reminded him. He could completely devour General Roas and then have the elven army fully support him. He could devour the Crystal Tree Dragon, thereby conquering Slanlot Castle, obtaining the forgiveness of the elven gods, and giving him the opportunity to wipe out everyone in the Church of the Deep.

However, as he slowly made his way to General Roas's tent, General Roas's daughter, Kemiasslovokowski, was riding her warhorse out of the camp through a side gate, heading towards Slanlot Castle.

When General Roas learned that his daughter had left the camp alone for Slanlot Castle, he burst into a tirade: "You damned elf! You stole our elven marching plans for the sake of those humans and beastmen!! I curse you!! I curse you to a horrible death!!"

"Whom are you cursing? Do you want my help?" Suddenly, a terrifying voice rang out. A large mass of black mud surged in from all directions of the army formation, flowing rapidly toward General Roas.

Soon, his screams echoed throughout the entire camp, frightening all the elves into hastily gathering together to kill the fused elf who had turned into black mud and avenge General Roas.

But in the end, it was the fused spirit that was driven out of the army formation, while General Roas was completely unharmed, not even a scratch... (To be continued...)

Chapter 41 - Action

“General, Viscount Lu Ming requests that you and Earl Winsland come over,” a Deucalion knight said to Toures as he entered a common lounge used for rest and conversation.

Upon hearing this, Tures was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Winsland, who was examining a document sent from Menelaus.

"What does he want with us?" Noticing Tures's gaze, Winsland sighed helplessly and asked the knight.

"It was a friend of Viscount Lu Ming who obtained the Aifa Empire's battle plan and marching map, so he asked the Earl and the General to go over there. In addition, Viscount Lu Ming also summoned the commanders of the other troops inside the fortress."

The knight's answer caused Tures and Winsland to exchange a glance, then they stood up from their chairs, quickly walked out of the lounge, and headed towards the conference room.

"What's up with Lu Ming? Where did he get such a confidential friend?" On the way, Tures expressed his doubts about this matter, finding it hard to believe that Lu Ming had such a friend who could obtain such confidential information.

“That guy is shrouded in mystery. Maybe before coming to Miracaissa, he was driven to the brink of despair by the elves in the Aifa Empire,” Winsland said after a moment's thought, offering his speculation. The result…

They ran into Lu Ming on the way, who had come to see why the two of them were so slow.

Lu Ming overheard their conversation and, somewhat angrily, said, "Although I don't know how you came up with this idea, let me tell you. After coming here from my hometown, the first place I arrived at was Miracaissa, and I haven't left Miracaissa since. So if you continue to talk nonsense, I will report you to the two elders!"

Seeing that Lu Ming was angry, Winslant immediately apologized.

"I'm sorry, I said something inappropriate."

However, although she apologized, Winslant's expression didn't look like someone apologizing for doing something wrong. Instead, it was an expression of reluctance, which made Lu Ming even angrier.

"Fine, you're of higher status, I won't argue with you." But in the end, Lu Ming held back, not intending to quarrel with Winslant here, since there were still things to discuss. So he said arrogantly and then turned and walked towards the conference room.

Seeing this, Winslant was so angry that she wanted to fight Lu Ming, even though she would probably lose in the end.

Forcibly suppressing the urge to fight Lu Ming, Winslant quickly followed Lu Ming into the conference room.

As soon as they entered the conference room, Winsland and Torres saw Lu Ming's so-called friend, a very beautiful but arrogant female elf.

Although she was quite beautiful, ranking among the top beauties in all of Miracaissa, her gaze towards others revealed an arrogance ingrained in her very being. She looked down on everyone present except Lu Ming, regardless of their strength or status; she simply despised everyone!

"This is Camillas Sflokoski, Roas Sflokoski's daughter..."

Just as Lu Ming was introducing the disdainful female elf, Toures exclaimed in surprise, "What!? Roas Svlokoski's daughter!?"

"Do you have any objections?" Camillas asked, frowning and glaring at Tures, clearly displeased.

"..." Sensing Kemias's arrogance and the terrifying aura emanating from her, Tures immediately shut his mouth, lest he die at the hands of one of his own elves. Although he still didn't know if she was truly on his side...

"Kemias was one of the first pro-royal nobles to question whether allowing Eldridge into the Aifa Empire was the right thing to do. Now that most of the elven nobles in the Aifa Empire have chosen to let the Church of the Deep, the pro-royal faction, and us, Miracaisa, fight each other so they can reap the benefits, Kemias, as a member of the pro-royal faction, has no other choice but to cooperate with us to deal with the Church of the Deep and those treacherous elven nobles. Otherwise, the Elven Queen will surely die!" After everyone was seated, Lu Ming began to explain why Kemias, the daughter of General Roas, had come to help them, people from an enemy nation.

"Using someone else to do the dirty work?" Winslant frowned and asked upon hearing Lu Ming's explanation.

“That’s right.” It was Camillas herself who answered her.

An elf as arrogant as her would usually disdain to lie. So she chose to admit it openly and honestly.

Immediately, everyone except Lu Ming was taken aback. They had never imagined that Camillas would admit to something so blatantly conspiratorial, and so directly at that. She showed absolutely no fear, as if she knew they wouldn't kill her and would even obediently help her.

Faced with such a Kemias, almost all the commanders felt extremely angry at first, because Kemias was so arrogant!

But just as the commanders were about to slam their fists on the table and beat up Camias, they were suddenly suppressed by the terrifying aura emanating from Camias, and none of them dared to stand up and speak.

Camias is a fifth-tier dragon slayer, so with her combat power, eliminating them would be incredibly easy. Among those present, aside from Lu Ming, almost no one had the ability to rival Camias. Moreover, a fight between Lu Ming and her would likely end in mutual destruction.

"Alright, stop fooling around, we need to talk about something serious now!" Amidst the horrified gazes of almost everyone, Lu Ming reached out and patted Camillas on the head, laughing as he spoke.
