Chapter 78 – Destruction, Coming (8)

“Ha, so. “Do you want me to believe you now?”

In the past, Lehel was very nervous. Well, he must have been recuperating after barely dealing with the demons that flocked to the capital, but he came to the battlefield again, so it was worth it.
But I was sure she could understand what was going on.

Lehel already knows about Illusion Ball’s unique magic.
She, too, has gone through endless reincarnations.
Because she’s not stupid enough to turn her eyes away from the evidence thrust before her eyes.

“I don’t ask for much. “Just protect the people on the canal.”
“That means fighting demons! Ha, really. I can’t believe it. “Suddenly they say that this world is a lie and that you can defeat evil.”

A sad gaze stares this way.

“Even if everything were true, why would I listen to you?”

I’ve become quite arrogant while I haven’t seen you. No, it’s because I haven’t tried it here yet.
If I had a little more time and budget, I would have taken a carriage straight to Pecda Tower and pulled out the horns of the still-infant Grand Kenyon.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t afford it right now.

“Yes.”

So, without any choice, I decided to use the last move I had hidden away. Since we didn’t see each other twice anyway, I had no hesitation in asking.

“Because I’m your lover.”
“Puuup——! Now, wait a minute! What, what!?”

Lehel sipped the tea she was drinking loudly. Either way, I couldn’t afford to watch the situation any longer as the demon army was slowly emerging from the other side.

“Lets think. “I have your medal, and I came all the way here to look for you, so wouldn’t it be natural?”
“… “You could win by gambling.”

It was bad this time too.

“I promised to quit that gambling too. “This is real.”
“Crazy… I?”

Did she at least cut her wrists? She said, lifting up her own robes. She thought she would be trusted by this point, but she did not easily fall for Lehel when she was young, or even when she was old, as she had at least twice the intelligence of Adela.

“I don’t believe it. “To begin with, I have never had a life partner.”
“Really?”
“Okay. How would you bear it if you were left alone in your next life? So what you said is a lie.”

Certainly, in the original world, Lehel also expressed her regrets to me by citing her own lifespan.
But then I remembered what she had told me when she returned from Sandalphonia, saying she would only tell me.

“Sacrer Dragon’s Nest.”
“… !!”
“That’s your cradle.”
“Oh, no. How… !”

A look of confusion was evident. Is Lehel really alone? Am I with a guy like that? She said and squeezed her head several times.
And in the end——

“Ha… Hey you.”
“Say.”
“Listen carefully.”

When she came to the front of the table, her hand grabbed my collar. Her fairly ample breasts swayed beneath her loose robe.

“You know the master of my unique magic.”
“It’s lifespan.”
“Okay. So, I am enduring all the transience of this life and investing the remaining half of my life in you.”

Her burning eyes were an emotion that was hard to find in the current Lehel, who seemed bored.

“If the wind blows, search.”
“… Okay.”
“Ha, write. “After the war was over, I was going to gamble to my heart’s content.”

You have to prepare to go into the cradle first. She said, kicking down the door and leaving. At the same time, the sound of a horn sounded outside, announcing the appearance of enemies.
As I looked up at the dark sky, I got up and took the medal I had returned.

“Whew, then…”

Signs fix space and time. This is what the three Moirai sisters said.
This means that the demon statue that Dominic placed was a device to make this moment of Carvius’ invasion a reality.
If they were defeated as they had historically been and the canal was destroyed, I had no idea how far the reaction would extend.

In the worst case, Carvius may descend on the Vatudis region.

“I should go too.”

So it’s time. It’s time to end this boring fantasy.

As the sun sets in the west and disappears below the horizon, the dark dusk takes root from the demon world. The sky was dark. The torches gathered at the riverside burned uneasily in the cold wind that changed from time to time, as if a storm was about to arrive.

Since their goal was a canal, the people located at the foot of the mountain range did not even enjoy geographical advantages. On the contrary, the trees in the forest blocking the way further added to the feeling of fear.

The pale blue boy, holding the spear with trembling hands, tapped his toes on the ground here and there, feeling the tickling sensation in his toes. However, instead of getting better, his itching got worse and he intuitively realized that the ground he was stepping on was trembling.

The sound of footsteps shaking the earth. Unpleasant things were coming from between the dark sky and the black ground.
Demon. Enemy of mankind.
They were demons from hell who possessed black mana, raised rotten corpses, and were ordered by their monarch to exterminate humanity.

There was tension on the battlefield. And last of all, there were those who remained in the mountains to watch the enemies.

“What can I do? Are you really going to abandon them without joining them?”

Valerie vaguely asked the other leaders of the twelve organizations. He was the first to speak up, but he didn’t seem very reluctant either.
As many as 108 knights and wizards from the alliance remained in the rear, but it was up to them to decide on their participation.
It was Mateus who voted against it without any hesitation.

“Even if Yunhoegong joins, the destruction of evil cannot be defeated. Goliath is left out.”

Seeing him like that, Kundra also slowly raised his hand.

“We don’t fight a fight we can’t win. “There aren’t even that many left.”

The 2nd and 4th organizations declared non-participation. Adalbert, who was looking at them with disapproving eyes, asked the blonde archer next to her.

“What about the archers, Mirbe?”
“It is possible to provide rear support. “It’s not difficult to squeeze out the remaining mana and throw a few magic arrows into the battlefield.”
“I agree. “Running away while leaving wounded soldiers in front of you is far from the mindset a servant of Hela should have.”

Organizations 5 and 6 were in favor. Since then, representatives from each organization expressed their opinions, but the opinions were roughly split. Because Yunhoe-gong suddenly announced his participation in the war, everyone had silent expectations for him.

Lehel Darad. The archduke who saved Thessalon and laid the foundation for a reversal when the first Ravier defense line was breached.

“What are you going to do, Adalbert?”

At Valerie’s words, everyone’s eyes turned to the leader of Hooksclaw. In fact, if he decides to join the war, many people will follow.
The kingdom’s greatest swordsman, the teacher of White Knight Wivlett. A commander who has maintained the forefront of Fenheim without taking a single step back since the outbreak of the Great War.

“Choose wisely. “Hundreds of thousands of lives depend on your decision, an old man who will soon be in his coffin.”
“…”

Adalbert, who was silently looking around the conference room, met Valerie’s eyes. The others were always anxious as to what the old swordsman and the wizard who couldn’t get enough of each other were thinking.
While silence continued for a while, Adelbert finally took action.

Slurp.

As I pulled out the sword from my waist, Valerie also stood up.

“Hooksclaw! Prepare for battle!!”
“Gellerhaaaaat——!!!”

As soon as the words were finished, everyone in the conference room ran outside and announced the retreat of the retreating troops. Numerous horns sounded and the military flags that had been lowered began to raise their heads one by one.
Valerie said as she handed the communication crystal to the boy who was waiting outside and rushed in.

“Delivery it to the Battle Wizards! “We begin according to the magic of Reincarnation!”
“Yes, yes!!”
“And you!”
“Yes?”
“When the war is over, come to the blue moon. “I will tell the owner of Alkaid’s tower carefully.”
“M-Me!?”
“Okay! Since you have come here, haven’t you taken advantage of a great opportunity that is hard to find anywhere in the world? “You have to pay for it!”
“Well, this is an opportunity…”
“How stupid!”

Valerie grabbed Gellerhart’s neck tightly and pointed out the window with her rough hand. A white-haired wizard standing alone at the foot of a mountain range.

“A chance to see the Archduke’s magic in person.”

Valerie’s eyes, as she looked at her, were also burning as if she were on fire.

***

“Oh my~ Oh my, I’m dying. “What kind of hardships have you had in your later years?”

In front of the demons that flocked like dogs, Lehel relieved herself of her stiff body and sighed. Wearing a rusty four-leaf medal and dirty robes, her appearance was so shabby that anyone who saw her would have thought she was homeless or suicidal.

“Ha, indeed. It’s a relationship, I’m in a relationship… You should like this or not. “It’s not my job to begin with.”

However, even in the face of numerous enemies, she calmly unwrapped the rosary beads wrapped around her hand and muttered.

“Should I do this too, since it’s my job? Ha, write it. If I’m going to catch you, I’ll pick a decent guy and catch one who, just by looking at him, isn’t as good as me… “Oh, I don’t know.”

Churrrr!”

“I have to put those away first and think about it.”

Each bead made of dragon bone flew into the sky and gave off light.
The most important drawing paper for casting magic, Fraum Mobile. The stars shining within it are recognized as a light source called luminary and represent the hierarchy of magic.

“Ruler.”

Lehel, who had put dozens of stars on the celestial sphere, declared to the charging demons with a cold expression.

“It’s time to end this life.”

〈Lehel Darad Unique Magic: Reincarnation 〉

Then, huge meteorites began to fall one after another from the sky.

〈 There is no devil alive on this earth ⌜No devil lived on⌟〉

***

As if the universe had opened, tremendous vibrations and heat came down from the night sky and shook the mountain range. It only took a moment for the meteorites falling from the sky to fall on the heads of the running demons.

Thud! Quagwang! Kwaang——!!

Even the screams of the people next to me were drowned out by the cloud of dust and the roar that made it impossible to see. When I looked up, I saw that there were numerous large craters in the open area where the enemies had been running until a moment ago.

However, there were still many people who were willing to throw themselves into a place where their comrades could not even leave a body. Even when the necromancers in the back row cast spells, they crackled! Crispy! White hands rose from the ground.

Is this really the end?

The moment a ray of disappointment bloomed in my heart, the entire earth suddenly began to shake. And some wizards expressed astonishment.

Ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd!

“Nonsense…”
“Oh my god, I never thought I would see this with my own eyes.”

The sand and rocks on the ground tangled together around the deep pit, creating a huge sphere. The sphere gradually heated up and flew toward the sky, then shrunk until it became a sparkling dot.

Kwaaaaa!!!

And a moment later, the same meteorite fell.

Thud! Quack! Quang, bang——!!

Again and again and again. The sight of dozens of meteorites rising and falling at the same time like a carpet bombing was like a curtain made of heat, light, and rock descending from the sky.

Feeling the dark presence gradually approaching beyond the heavenly veil, I slowly took a deep breath.
After shaking my hand a few times, I turned my head, and there was Liv, who looked anxious.

“President…”

By now, she must have noticed. Where was I And, why did she say that her father’s death was my fault?

“Lewis, please take care of Baron Lev.”

He fought bravely even without the support of that great magic. The sight of an arrow pointing like an elf archer from a fantasy movie I saw a long time ago.

Of course, there are no elves in this world.

“Paris.”
“Why do you do that… ?”

And as of today, there will be no dragons.

“I need a sword.”
