Chapter 117

"-Hmm, gathering players, huh?"

A while after I sent Zansword flying with a punch.

I walked around Helheim as I recalled the earlier conversation.

"Put on a live concert he says. He must be out of his mind. Ain't no way I'd do that."

I mean, I got the looks, but if I was going to attract real crowds, I'd gotta learn how to sing and dance, or else I'd only end up embarrassing myself.

But that would take a considerable amount of time, which I didn't have. After all, there were only six days until the war. I wasn't going to spend my precious time learning skills useless for fighting.

"Still, it's true that I have to do something to attract people to join our side. I wonder if there's something I can do with things I've already got-"

At that time. From a corner of the city came a squeal "Kyaa, how adorable!"

Wondering what was going on, I headed over, and...

"Hey, look at this mouse monster! Its whole body is yellow. So cute♡."

"This raccoon monster has got a bag on its belly. Super adorbs~♡."

"Ah! That kitty is making popcorn!"

...there I found cute little monsters and female players swooning all over them.

Further, when I took a look around, I saw male players looking up at the large monsters wandering the streets exclaiming "Ohhh!" and kids timidly trying to touch some other monsters.

"...That's it...! A summoner like me is used to seeing monsters up close. But most other players rarely get the chance to do so...!"

I mean, with wild monsters, it was kill or be killed.

Regardless of how cute they looked, there was no way people could admire them safely.

But with my tamed monsters, they could even touch them...!

"-I've come up with a good idea! I must call up my fellow summoners right away!"

Summoner used to be seen as a trash job, and Summoner players had always been ridiculed.

But with my rise to become the strongest, that perception had now gone, and most Summoners had chosen to join the Demon King's side as a token of gratitude.

And now, I'd be borrowing their power.

"Summoning monsters takes up party slots, so you can only bring out 12 monsters at a time. But I remember reading that you can transfer tamed monsters, so if I work together with other Summoners... Alright!"

When you'd got an idea, you'd gotta act upon it right away!

I pulled up my friend list, which had become full before I knew it, and started to hit up my fellow Summoners-!

◆◆◇◆

-Several hours later. With the help of other Summoners, I was holding a sudden event in the Beginning Town!

Riding on the head of one of my tamed monsters, 'Imperial Dragon', I yelled at the players on the street!

"Everyone! Behold!! The great force of our Demon King's army!!!!!"

[Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!!]

In response to my shout, the hundreds of monsters started marching!

Giant beetles with spines growing from their whole bodies 'Genocide Beetles', lava giants boasting huge burning bodies of over 10m (32ft) 'Lava Gigantes', vicious slimes whose bodies were made entirely of acid and venom 'Venom Killing Slime', and other sizeable, terrifying, and conspicuous monsters paraded through the Beginning Town!
