Chapter 1527 – [Conclusion]
Eden had almost realized her true nature based on the story she heard from Shion, but it was still just in front of her eyes like a haze, and she couldn’t catch it.
Just a little bit, just a little bit. But, frustratingly, I can’t figure out exactly what it is.
She had an abstract image and was sure what it was, but she couldn’t express it accurately, so she wasn’t yet able to make her enlightenment completely her own.
However, if she fully realizes that, she will be able to take a step forward and master her colored resonator in earnest. It’s just not enough yet.
“Ugh, I’m busy.”
In addition to her special training to defeat the demon lord, she is doubly busy with work.
As he disposed of the treacherous Nightgun, the opponent his physical body had possessed was also judged, and although the impact was less than that of Prince Arthur, whom his main body had possessed, it was not without aftereffects.
On the one hand, there were people who were devastated because they were judged for the sins they had committed so far, and on the other hand, there were people who had a hard time adjusting to daily life because they remembered the pain of that time. Since the scheming Knightgun was an opponent who possessed them for their usefulness, problems arose in administration due to their empty seats.
Thanks to this, Eden is in a situation where she has to use not only her body but also her head to take on various tasks that she has never done before, including King Tyr.
“Hero, this is a list of supplies from the Dwarven Kingdom.”
“Oh, yes. Please leave it there.”
“Sir, please check the documents related to this month’s budget.”
“Yes.”
“Hero.”
“Hero…!!!”
“Ugh!!! There are so many documents!!!!”
The good news is that she was smart, so her processing speed was fast. Even if it is a bundle of documents, if the contents are well organized, the contents themselves are sometimes not that special compared to the documents.
One month like that. She was busy handling the administrative shortcomings, and even those who had been judged half-heartedly were brought back to the front line. After handing over what was left to them and having some free time, Eden prepared to attack the devil in earnest.
If she invested more time, she would definitely gain the strength to defeat the Demon King, but time was not on her side. To be precise, she couldn’t do anything about the day of the college entrance exam.
“If only we had a little more time… No, there is nothing we can do to reduce casualties anyway.”
Eden gathered the items needed to defeat the Demon King. Because she wants to be on guard and do everything she can, she even takes out everything she doesn’t use.
She may not be able to use the Ring of Judgment that she used before, but since it is a ring anyway, it won’t be a big hindrance, so she takes it with her, and of course she takes the pocket watch given by the Absolute of Time as a countermeasure against the Demon King’s time interference attacks.
Not only does he wear the horn of Keter used as a weapon, but he also wears a liquid suit given to him by the Dragon Lord.
The weapons she received from all kinds of transcendental beings were all priceless items that would be of great help to her in the dimensional civilization.
“You should kill all the demon bastards and go quickly and study for the college entrance exam.”
To be honest with her, her college entrance exam is scarier than her devil. If she misses the day of her college entrance exam because of the devil, then her devil will not only have to deal with Ms. Kim Ryu-hwa’s revenge, but also her own personal anger.
Afterward, fully armed, she moved to the front lines. When she arrived beyond her space with her dragon walking technique, the king of her beast people welcomed her.
“You’ve arrived just in time.”
“What’s going on?”
“The Demon Lord is on the move. It seems he has heard the news that the Nightgun of Cunning has died.”
“It’s been a month, but the news is really late.”
“You didn’t hide that fact. If I heard the news in a month, it would have been sooner.”
All the Four Heavenly Kings fell. The Demon King is now in a situation no different from having all his limbs cut off.
But despite this, the Demon King himself is the most difficult enemy. He who manipulates and dominates space and time will only suffer death unless his opponent has reached a sufficient level. Therefore, she is the only one in the Allied Forces camp who can deal with the Demon King.
Last time, it was to get information about the Demon King, and I fought from the beginning with the intention of running away, but I won’t and can’t do that this time. If the Demon King isn’t a fool, he won’t be able to escape in the same way as last time.
If you fight the devil, that is your last chance.
Of course, even if she fails, she will not die. It’s just that a nuclear bomb with the worst name, like a self-destruct switch, will be launched.
“The evil spirits are gathering in one place over the occupied areas. Maybe that’s…”
“All-out war?”
“Maybe so.”
“Then we should also gather some troops.”
She is the only one dealing with the Demon Lord, but that doesn’t mean she can attack him alone. Even though her numerous evil spirits are weak, their sheer number is violence, so if she were to fight against the entire Demon King’s army, she would definitely lose.
So, all that remains is an all-out fight for each other’s fate. The allied forces must deal with evil spirits, and the warriors must deal with the devil.
It’s like a gamble where you risk everything and lose everything, but the Demon King is confident in it, so he gives up the areas he has conquered and gathers his troops.
“This guy looks like I’m a piece of shit.”
“I guess I was confident because I won once.”
“It’s not that I lost, it’s that I didn’t even win in the first place? Running away doesn’t mean I lost!!!”
“I have no intention of blaming you for that. There are many ways to fight. Is there anything to be ashamed of for running away for the next one?”
“The nobles and people of the Kingdom of Tyr say that.”
“If you had really come back after a crushing defeat, you would have come back completely intact. Did you do that when you saw that he came back unharmed?”
“That’s right.”
There is so much she has shown to the different tribes of her country. She saved the country from ruin, revived the world tree, rekindled the furnace of the blacksmith god, and even revived the god of struggle.
However, ironically, it is people like her who have the least trust in heroes among them. Thinking like that, Eden couldn’t help but feel defeated.
Later, if the opportunity arises, the thought that it would be a good idea to take Saint Bridget with her and leave the Kingdom of Tyr filled her mind. To be honest, she was treated well.
“Anyway, if they move, we will move too. It would be better to deliver news to the kingdom separately.”
“… I feel sorry for the human warrior, but perhaps the saint will also have to participate in that battlefield. Of course, she will be stationed at the rear, but the human saint’s [Miracles] Will be a great help in dealing with the evil spirits.”
“Well, I don’t want to do that…”
“I know that the human warrior cares about the saint. But if she finds out about her situation, the saint herself will try to come forward. Are you confident that she will stop it?”
“It’s more of a problem knowing that.”
“I guess we can’t help it. We have no choice but to protect ourselves as much as possible.”
News about the Demon King reached the Kingdom of Tyr and the Alliance, and they also began to gather their troops.
Many different races gather for a decisive battle. King Tyr, the saint, the elf queen, the dwarf king, the king of the beastmen, and even the dragon lord gathered.
Since Ederland’s dragons do not know how to use magic, the meeting was held outdoors due to the dragon lord’s inability to transform into a humanoid.
“The Demon King has begun to gather his troops. It looks like he intends to strike and end the situation once and for all.”
“The way the damn thing acts, he seems very confident. It makes me want to ruin his head and break it to pieces.”
“Honestly, I agree with that too.”
“We must also gather the allied forces and fight the final battle. Fortunately, thanks to the hero, all the Four Heavenly Kings have fallen… This is a unique opportunity.”
“This is an opportunity for us dragons to regain the humiliation we have experienced and the honor we have lost. Leave the heavens to us.”
“The most important thing is the devil.”
All their eyes turned to Eden.
The girl she is now is not the girl she was when she first fought the Demon King. She became much stronger and was fully prepared to fight the Demon Lord. Still, it may not be overwhelming because it is a little lacking, but the odds of winning are much higher than before.
“Please leave the Demon King to me. All you have to do is create a place for the two of us to fight.”
“That is something that must be done, of course. If you just defeat the Demon King, everything will be over.”
If the head called the Demon King is lost, the remaining demons will also go crazy, but at least they are much easier to deal with than if they move under command like they do now. Moreover, isn’t it a situation where each different race has regained its original power?
Considering the cause of evil spirits, a fundamental solution is still far away, but at least the continent plagued by evil spirits can be saved.
After the meeting was roughly concluded, Eden met privately with her saint. This time, she is also going to her battlefield, so she is very worried about him.
“Saint, are you okay?”
“If my [Miracle] Is of great help in fighting the Demon King, then of course I should step forward. Even though I may be in the rear, I will do my best.”
“First of all, I will cover the recovery or treatment of wounds, so saintess, please apply a buff.”
“What is a buff?”
“Cheer up, the saint is rooting for you!!! She’ll work out amazingly well with this!!!”
“Ah, I think I know roughly what it is. Are you talking about the support [Miracle]?”
In preparation for an all-out war, Eden created water essence to the limit that would not interfere with battle.
Previously, when treating King Tyr, he grew one level further and was able to create water essence of the same level as the owner of the water sanctuary. Because it is at a level that can be used as medical supplies even in dimensional civilization, it is rumored to be a miracle medicine here.
Severed limbs can be healed by touching the cut surface and spraying or drinking purified water, and even if the severed part is not present, the severed part can be regenerated if taken consistently. Not only brain damage but also many of the most incurable diseases on Earth can be treated.
In fact, the performance is so good that Eden herself is a little scared. He abused it a lot, but now that it has reached its peak, it becomes a burden.
Nevertheless, if there is going to be a war, the more high-performance recovery means, the better, so Eden made it so that one soldier can take care of it.
“Show me the money!!! No, water!!!!”
“We can imitate the hero’s abilities and do something similar, but honestly, it’s a long way from being able to attach severed limbs.”
“If you try hard, you can do it. About a thousand years? Don’t you live for that long since you’re an elf?”
“I don’t live that long!!!!”
“I guess the elves here can’t live for a thousand years.”
“Are there places where other elves live for over a thousand years?!”
“My elf mother is like that.”
“Elf Mom!?!?!?”
While talking about this and that, the Dwarf King was interested in the liquid armor she was wearing.
The properties of liquid and armor do not match at all, but the armor was made by the same blacksmith. Even if one side is a superior opponent who wants to line up in a dimensional civilization and make equipment for them, you can recognize them to that extent.
“Hero. Can I take a look at what you’re wearing for a moment?”
“Oh, he’s trying to take my clothes off!!! Pervert!!!!”
“No!!!! That’s not it!!!!!”
“I know. I was just joking. Anyway, would you like to see it?”
Liquid armor created by her dragon and gifted to her. The material was the scales of the Lord and Dragon, and it was melted down to create an item that could be worn by anyone.
Considering not only its versatility but also the skill and level that went into it, I couldn’t help but feel like I was watching a jet flying in the distance while the Dwarf King was running.
“It’s an amazing item. Is it something made by interfering with the concept of matter itself? Hmm… There are some parts similar to dragon scales, but that’s it, the performance is completely different.”
“Ah, the dragon scale part is probably correct. Both the person who made it and the material are dragons.”
“Ho, really? Anyway, there’s a lot to see.”
“Really?”
“Well, I don’t know how to explain it to the hero… But heroes like to eat, right?”
“Yes!!!!!!!”
“Then, if you eat a delicious dish, you will gain a lot about it. Likewise, when we see a piece of art of that quality, we gain a certain level of enlightenment.”
“Oh, I think I understand roughly.”
“Thank you for your understanding. Anyway, I think we can grow quite a bit with just this.”
On the other hand, if I had known this would happen, I would have brought it up and written about it a long time ago, but it has already happened. Eden watched the dwarves’ passion with a bitter expression.
Afterward, an all-out war begins in earnest.
Hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in one place. Numerous different races, and even evil spirits opposing them.
Even though these races are different, the appearance of evil spirits is ugly and causes fear. I don’t know if it was originally like that, or if it was made that way to draw out negative thoughts, but it was so hideous that it made people turn away just by looking at it.
“There must be a lot of people who are scared. Morale will drop.”
“I don’t know anything else, but it’s hard to deal with low morale…”
Eden laughed at that. Maybe it was just to boost morale, but I laughed alone in the quiet Allied forces.
Her eyes automatically focus on her. She who smiles in situations like this is bound to attract people’s attention.
“Hero, why are you smiling?”
“It came from a book I read a while ago. I laughed a little when I remembered that.”
“In the same situation as now?”
“Yes… It’s nothing else. We’re not only humans, but many different races are fighting together right now, right?”
Among the people currently in the Allied Forces, there is no member of a different race that does not belong to this continent. Since evil spirits are not from this continent in the first place, if we exclude them, all different races gather together to fight.
“The races that have been at odds until now are coming together and fighting. They have abandoned their past benefactors… If nothing else, right here and now.”
“That’s…”
“All the continents have gathered their strength, but does that mean we are weak? We are strong, so strong!!!! If not, why would that bastard, the Demon King, gather all his troops and come to fight us?”
The facts they had forgotten in fear awaken them.
The Allied forces gathered here were not simply remnants gathered to survive, but were the might of the continent.
It couldn’t have been weak. Even though he would do his best to at least deal with the demon lord, he could not ignore the allied forces gathered there.
“We are fighting together with the sun!!!!!!!”
“”””Wow!!!!!!””””
With a shout the warrior shouted, pointing to the rising sun.
A fierce shout was heard from the Allied side.
