Chapter 1643 Gracefully Ask for Help
The human army are not having any casualties because the Church of Light was making sure that everyone does not die. This could also stem to the fact that the World Eater Parasite is not viewing them as a threat. All the World Eater Parasite is doing would be the selection of a new host which is why it is fanning its gill like out outwards.
It seems that the World Eater Parasite does not have eyes like a normal monster but instead have sensory organs. The sensory organs do not seem to function the same as the monsters of this world as it does not get overloaded despite the number of living beings here. The World Eater Parasite does indeed possess a different body compared to any being that is created in this universe as it is completely outside the norm.
The players are becoming the most damaged people in the army as they would be the ones that are commanded to attack. This is also the reason why some players do not like the kingdoms that built the human supremacy logic as their motto. The human supremacy kingdoms do not actually view the players as humans despite their race being equal to humans.
Due to the players just dying and becoming weaker unlike normal humans that die permanently, the human players are also somewhat at a vague ground in terms of where they are. They are viewed as monsters wearing human skin since they revive from the dead due to the blessing of this world. They are in a grey area but the kingdoms with human supremacy values will not let their usefulness go to waste.
Some of the human players are not aware of this because their treatments are the same as that of normal human NPCs as long as the others do not know that they are players. This is the reason why most players with of the human race would rather go be adventurers that go from town to town and not settle in a certain place because they are viewed as different.
Some players even immediately would look for a race change item just to escape that headache of a situation. This is the reason why the race change item is extremely sought after even if it is just from turning to an elf or a dwarf. Players of the human race usually swap races in the middle of the game when they see that they cannot advance further into these societies.
This type of behavior is changing though as there are now lots of players that have started to govern territories. They are the ones changing the view of how players should be treated even if it is still small in scale. Although there is already a player that has achieved a sizeable territory that is equal to a Marquess which means a player that is king would not be far from the future.
Anyways, the treatment for the human players is still better now but they are still mainly used as cannon fodder or 'vanguards' if one would like a more perfumed term. The human players knew that they should do their best to somehow change the mindset of the human people in the world but some of them have already given up that cause. They knew that efficiency and the defeat of the enemy is what matters as they do not want to die and getting only crumbs.
"What should we do for you to help us?" One of the players asked as the priests would more likely ran out of mana and that would mean that they would start to die off one by one.
"Asking me for help is the only way for it to be solved. She should be the one that asks of that with grace, of course. That is only the polite thing to be done after getting verbally harassed when I have not done anything and only presented that that I could help." Adrian stated as he was floating in mid-air seeing the hard work of the human army going down the drain.
"Can you not do it for us? We are really big fans!" One of the players asked.
"Nope. If you really were a fan of me then you know how I roll. I always like to help when I can and if I am the only one that can solve it then I do my best. What I do not like is to be mocked by someone that does not even know how to tackle the problem. Remember, I could just wait until all of you die and then I would get a turn." Adrian stated in a voice that could be heard as clear as day.
The players and even the people around suddenly had shivers when Adrian said his last sentence. They are suddenly shot with the reality that all of them dying can easily happen. Even the priests that accompanied Pristina knew that they could get killed as well because they are not even making a dent on the monster.
Deep down, all of the people there know that the monster was not getting damaged by them to a point that it would be scared at them. The monster that is before them is just moving about and not even attacking those that are aiming their bloodlust and hostility toward them. All the World Eater Parasite was doing was looking for a signal of life that could fit its gigantic ten-meter-long body.
"All players stop attacking and retreat." One of the higher leveled players stated as he was the first one to disengage.
The highest leveled player in each of the armies immediately stopped what they were doing and some suddenly followed. When the most powerful players stopped receiving orders from the army generals, the other lower leveled players stopped as well. The only players that did not stop were those that are from the Church of Light as they will get heavily reprimanded if they do.
"What are you doing! Attack the monster!" One of the generals stated but the players did not bother as they were just being used as vanguards anyway.
Soon, the shouts of the other generals echoed as well that reprimanded the player. The only ones left in the front line were the NPC soldiers and they could not deal with the World Eater Parasite alone. All the players that were part of the army soon moved away and they also noticed that the monster was not even harming them.
"What are all of you doing! Kill that monster!" Pristina shouted with the top of her lungs as she was the one that badly wanted the monster to be killed.
"Why should we when we could have the Demon deal with it like he initially wanted?" One of the highest leveled players stated in protest and the others soon echoed their same concern.
"Do you really wish to hand over the glory of killing a horrendous monster to a demon! They do not care about all of you as long as the world is spinning correctly, they do not care as long as the world is intact!" Pristina stated in a commanding tone.
"Which is true. But you have yet to answer their question on why they should waste their time when someone present is already here to deal with it. I already told all of you earlier that this monster is an extradimensional being. Any beings that are not of this world are dealt by the demons which is us.
Humans might have an ability to defeat such beings if they were demigods but none of you here are demigods. The skill that partially damage that being that we call the World Eater Parasite was filled with divine energy. Even the lady over there in her real form will not be able to defeat as they are beings that cannot possess much of it." Adrian stated as he pointed towards Pristina.
Only the highest of the angels with three pairs of wings are granted the authority to wield divine energy by the Goddess Luminaria. They are granted the authority, but it is also very limited as the Goddess Luminaria feared that an angel that is incredibly powerful might overthrow her. The stupid excuse that she gave her angels was that divine energy corrupts their perfect forms and beauty which is why they should not wield too much.
"Are you all going to hand this demon the glory and loot upon killing such a fearsome beast?! With the grace of the Goddess of Light, we can attain victory!" Pristina stated but she was met with cold gazes as they were already fighting the World Eater Parasite for two hours already.
"Just ask for his help!" One of the players shouted and the other players also added to the statement.
"Let me at least tell all of you this. I do not care about your spoils on the Behemoth. All I care about is defeating the World Eater Parasite. I swear, on the names of the Twin Gods, that I will not take any of your loot on the Behemoth." Adrian stated with a smile as he knew that the promise uttered with the name of the Twin Gods sealed the deal.
Any promise uttered with the names of their patron gods would mean a promise that deals with their life. If Adrian did not fulfill his promise, then he would get divine punishment from the Twin Gods himself. He even used mana when he made this promise which could be felt by all of the people.
