I'm Actually Not Overpowered!-Chapter 157 Can You Stop This Crowd?
The Demon Army was surrounded before they even knew what was happening.
In front of them were the swarm of monsters that charged at them with primal ferocity. Normally, this wouldn't have been a problem if the soldiers were in top form.
Unfortunately, they were groggy from the accumulated exhaustion.
Still, with the barrier that protected them like a wall, it was safe to say that they had a very good chance at victory.
However...
... Behind them appeared a second group.
"N-no way...!"
"This can't be real!"
"T-those are—!!!"
The newly emerged soldiers were not living beings. They weren't humans, neither were they monsters—no, these things were something else entirely.
"G-Golems?!!"
That's right. These soldiers were non-living machines of destruction.
They had various forms—from massive giant bodies, to quadrupedal beast-like designs. Some glimmered with bright colors, like precious gems, while others had more darkened complexions.
The Golems seemed to be comprised of different various materials too.
Some had metallic appearances, while others seemed to be rocks. This diversity in their appearances made them somewhat distinct. However, if there was a similarity between all of them, it was this... 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖
"T-they're strong!"
"This energy... it can't be!"
"They're powerful! All of them are at Max Level!"
Average Golems had a max Level of 10. A Level 5 Golem would have the same kind of strength, if not greater power, compared to a Level 30 human. Level 4s would be around the Level 20s to 25s by human standard.
Usually, these were the most powerful kinds, or even the rarest most humans could ever dream of producing.
However...
"Level 10?! All of them?!" The learned Demon soldiers all screeched.
Unlike with living beings, it was somewhat easier to determine their level. Based on the energy and quality that built them up, one could measure their Level.
Any Demon with some education would know how to decipher a Golem's Level. Which was why... the Middle Class Demons were in gaping shock once they saw the armada of Level 10 Golems.
They spread across the battlefield, completely surrounding the Demon army from behind in a large circle.
In essence, the Demons were sandwitched between the monsters and the several Golems.
With their rear and front were completely sealed off, leaving no room for escape, it was easy to see only one cause of action.
PANIC!
"W-what should we do?!"
"I'm so exhausted."
"They're stationary. Why are they not moving?"
"We're screwed!"
"Why aren't our leaders doing anything?"
"We're all going to dieeeee!!!"
This new emotion of fear was a sensation most Demons hadn't felt for any other being but fellow Demons. The fact that they were exposed to such a humiliating prospect in a battle against feeble humans made the situation all the more bizarre.
However, how could they not panic?
Right before their eyes were thousands of Golems who were of the highest quality.
Just for reference, if a Level 5 Golem qualified as a Level 30 by human standards... how powerful would a Level 10 be?
The answer was apparent to the Mid-Demons. Each individual was well aware that they barely stood a chance against just one of the Golems.
The Average level of the Mid -Demons.on the battlefield was Level 35-40. A few were in higher Levels, but none—except the Demon Generals reached Level 60.
And a Level 10 Golem was exactly a Level 60 by human standards.
Sure, a Demon was naturally stronger than a human. Their base stats made a huge difference, and Level 60 Demons were essentially going to be stronger than Level 60 humans—though no such human existed.
To make it fair, then, how could one equate a Max-Level Golem to Demon standards?
"T-they have to be at least Level 40... no, maybe 45."
"You're kidding, right? They're not Level 30? B-but I'm Level 30! How will I survive?"
"This is crazy!"
"How did they even build something like this? Where did they get the technology?!"
As they murmured among themselves, wondering what to do next, a brilliant beam of light surged in the air above.
Everyone was attracted to the light—even the monsters stopped dead in their tracks once the luminous ray occupied in the evening sky.
It sparkled with blue and white flashes, creating a vortex-like doorway.
"C-could that be—?!" Some wondered if this was Demon General Adu's doing, but soon realized that it couldn't be.
His Magic was far more sinister.
Besides, Demon General Adu was also just as surprised by this manifestation.
If there was any good thing at all, it would be that the light appeared in the area of the monsters, so the frightened Demons still had their Magic Barrier defending them from whatever mysterious phenomenon was occuring.
>SWOOOOOOSSHHH<
The blue and white flashes of energy slowly dispersed, and a being manifested at the very center of the evaporating colors.
He had dark hair, and his appearance was that of a human.
This man had a peculiar set of armor, and several crystals of light danced around him. He was all alone in the air, but it seemed more dangerous than the monsters beneath him.
In fact— 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖
"N-NO WAY!!!" An exclamation rang from the Demon Camp as they watched the impossible happen.
Every single monster in sight did what the most unexpected thing ever.
They knelt. They bowed. They paid homage.
Every single one of the savage creatures were in obeisance to the glorious entity in the sky. He was like a god.
The Golems were still stagnant, so it wasn't certain if they were also under his control.
However, considering his top-tier outfit that had some of their materials in it's designs, and the crystals around him could be found on the Golems, it was highly probable.
With all the Monsters bowing before him, and the Golems under his presumed authority, it was easy to tell who was in charge.
"So, this is the one... the champion of the humans, and the author of our misfortune." Hogun struggled to speak, his tone sullen.
He—like his other companions—realized just how grave the situation was.
Was this going to be end?!
