Chapter 114 – Unexpected Danger (8)

“It is a beautiful place.”

Arbella, who was strolling among the colorfully blooming vaporizers, reached out for a balloon hanging from a tree that was believed to have been left by her child who had fled in response to her evacuation order. She smiled faintly as she looked back at Yuchun, holding the balloon that came down with her hand.

“It feels good to be playing like this.”

“Did you like this place? Do you remember, Arbella, that you didn’t like the artificially created peace?”

It is said that Arbella is the Knight Commander of the Council, but she is more like a soldier after all. That’s why she also doesn’t like the false peace enjoyed over an unfinished war. I know that peace is made with the price of blood. Even more so, it would be safe to say that he hated it, considering that he actually saw destruction and returned.

“Yes. Even if I lead a daily life, I wouldn’t have been able to accept this kind of peace so happily. But now it’s different. No, I understand exactly. Why do people turn away from reality and become obsessed with things like this?”

Love blooms even in a bloody battlefield, and a child is born even in a situation where the stomach festers with hunger. There is no rationality in it, but humans are made that way to survive. And Arbella felt that she was also such a human being.

It would make sense to go out to the battlefield right now and kill even one of the mighty monsters, but she didn’t want to.

I enjoy being with Yuchun, and my heart flutters when he sees only himself and blushes. The desire to let go of the present reality and leave him alone rises.

It is difficult for even oneself, a transcendental being who can control the realm of unconsciousness, to go against this instinct, but to ordinary people, it will come as a mind.

Arbella squatted in front of her yellow flower, which she did not know the name of, and cut it off and put it in her hair. If someone else had done that, she would have cursed inwardly, saying that she was a coffin servant or that she was a terminally ill princess, but her overwhelming appearance made even that into a picture.

“How is it? Aren’t I pretty?”

“I can’t deny it, but hearing that from your own lips makes me feel strange…?”

“Whoa… There is no beauty who thinks she is not pretty. Even more so, if you are rather humble, you will be criticized.”

While saying that, seeing Arbella covering her mouth and laughing, Yuchun laughed incredulously, but she just shook her head, thinking that her confidence was not wrong.

“Don’t you believe me? Even if right now, letters about unspoken love are piled up in my office like a mountain?”

Haha… That’s cool.”

“Joy…! Yes, they are worms who want to covet my appearance, authority, power, and honor. There are a lot of idiots out there who think that women become docile once they have children.”

Everyone has a desire to own something special. It is no different from the central world. And Arbella is one of the most special women in the world. Her might and achievements were awe-inspiring, but she was overflowing with fearless greed.

What should I say in a situation where there are people who climb the sword of the Mahel Empire to court Katrena, an old monster for hundreds of years?

Arbella, who recalled a group of people she didn’t even know the subject of, made her feel dirty, but because Yuchun was by her side, she endured it. She was like any woman who wanted to look good for the person she loved.

The sun was setting by the time I reached the top of the hill with an open view of the metasequoia avenue with huge trees blocking the sky beyond the flower field. With the power of Yuchun, the two of them watched the sunset over the mountain in a cloudless sky.

They didn’t hold hands or cross arms. It was still awkward, so the two kept a certain distance. Arbella was an active woman to the extent of stroking the sleeping Yuchun’s head, but was psychologically ashamed to approach her sane man recklessly.

‘Someday…’

She hoped that someday this gap would close, and she did not want to doubt that it would not be long.

By the time her red color faded and the sky was gradually embroidered with purple, Arbella raised her head and looked at Yuchun.

“Yoocheon.”

“Huh?”

“This place called Earth… I think it’s a good dimension.”

There were all kinds of problems, but it’s the same no matter which dimension you go to. In an exquisite balance, they were enjoying a peace that could crack at any moment, but Arbella rated this place highly for that alone.

“That’s the dimension where the drooling beasts are gathering.”

“Do you know who you are?”

“Yes. I know. There are a lot of pretty annoying names.”

The intelligence power of the Commission is unmatched. The Top 5, who are paying attention to the earth, could not have been unaware of the suspicious movements taking place around it.

“But the Top 5, including me, will not be involved in it at all.”

Still, no one tried to get involved in it. Even Arbella herself had no intention of intervening in anything other than meeting her Yuchun.

“But please don’t get me wrong. They, including me, are not trying to be wary of or excluding Yoochun.”

“…You mean to eat it on your own…?”

“Yes. At the same time, they are attracted to the existence of Yoochun and are hoping for some kind of prey.”

“Food?”

“Deus Ex Machina.”

“That…”

Yuchun’s eyes widened, not expecting that name to come out of her mouth.

“Did you know?”

“…I’ve only heard of it once.”

A divine beast from the underworld that we met in Haeinsa in the past. Arbella couldn’t hide her surprise when she told her that if the god-like wolf confronted her with hatred, she would kill them all.

“Shin Sura…You have encountered a precious being.”

Even with Arbella, she only faced a dragon, a being similar to him, on the brink of destruction. She will never forget the scene where she wakes up from her eternal sleep and looks up at the sky and cries out at the sight of the world she has crafted and polished collapsing.

At the same time, she couldn’t hide her admiration for her artifact, the Tripitaka Koreana, which had summoned a being called Shinsu. The desire contained in the Hexagon Tablet was also at a great level, but when it was in its perfect state before, it would surely be the highest numbered item among artifacts.

“Okay. It was amazing… It was hard to breathe. And he gave me this power too.”

Roar…

Arbella nodded her head, looking at the golden fire that wrapped around her Yuchun’s hand. That fire that does not burn anything will be born as a disaster that sets everything on fire if Yuchun sets his mind to it.

It seems that there is a problem with control and coordination, but that was an attractive power enough to bear with it.

“Anyway, if you know about them, you know the crimes they committed.”

“Okay…”

Yuchun frowned.

“I am not dissatisfied with making artificial gods. It’s not wrong for humans to wish for higher beings. But they didn’t follow the rules.”

They forcibly twisted and used the pillar that the Creator had built for the world, and then broke it and ate it. Without thinking about the price.

“Arbella, do you know? What is it?”

“…I don’t know, but there’s one thing I can expect. And…”

Coo coo…

Arbella’s bloody eyes smiled coldly. Her emotions contained there were deeper and darker than any murderous intent Yoochun had ever seen.

“If that’s true, I can understand…Why the rest of the Top 4 want to tear them apart so badly…And crawled into the outer dimension just by finding traces of them. You must have asked me because Yoochun-nim also expected something, right?”

“Yeah…It’s just a guess…”

Killian, who was injured in the battle with Karen, wakes up and says she has something to tell her.

The truth that she couldn’t hide her disgust and contempt even though she was calm about her little things… And when Yoochun heard her words and recalled the memory of her almost nauseating her, her mood crashed to the ground. Did.

-The absolute defense line…Is not a battlefield…

“What?”

Even though there are intelligences that can communicate with each other in the inner and outer dimensions, the reason why they have maintained absolute defense lines while burying them deep for tens of thousands of years.

At first, I thought the reason was because the outer dimension wanted to consume the overflowing monsters, and the upper layers of the inner dimension didn’t want to lose power. No, probably everyone who knew something about the Absolute Line of Defense would have thought and accepted it that way. Because it’s not a bad story for them.

However, as Kili’s story continued, the essence of the place became more ugly and dirty.

-From what I heard from the lord who was below me…That place…Was a magic circle and a shamanic board…

Her point was simple. The reality of the Absolute Line of Defense is that it is a huge magic circle with hundreds of dimensions built to support a world in which the legacy of the Creator has disappeared, as well as an ancient shaman board.

However, Yuchun could not be forgotten. She gritted her teeth at her seemingly insignificant expression and narrowed her eyes. She was dizzy enough to make an expression she had never seen before.

-I don’t know much about magic or witchcraft, but I do know one. That it’s no different from a car out there that runs when you add gas to a finished power source.

“What…What do you mean…?”

-Yoocheon You really don’t know, so you ask?

“…”

-Are you asking because you really don’t know what is the most expensive material for magic or witchcraft, but the cheapest in the battlefield?

Yuchun was silent at the weight of those words. She didn’t know. It’s just… She was subconsciously screaming that it couldn’t be true, that it shouldn’t be.

Magic and shamanism basically work only when a price is paid.

And…

On the greatest battlefield in the world.

Needless to say what was the most expensive and cheapest offering…
