To make matters worse (1)
The Great Temple of Roselia, located in the middle of the Holy Land, was the center of the main religious order, the largest religion in Auterica, and boasted a vast scale that was incomparable to other Great Temples in other regions.
In a way, it was only natural that many leaders, including the pope and saints, stayed here, as well as handling politics, administration, and information.
In addition, most of the headquarters of the Holy Knights and the Heretic Questioner were located here, so there was nothing more to say.
And on one side of that large site, there were a number of accommodation buildings for VIPs visiting from outside…
“Whoa—that’s exhausting, too.”
One of them, in the quarters of the Azerion Empire delegation.
Princess Riley, who had just returned from a meeting, sighed in pain and buried herself on the sofa in her office.
My whole body was tired because the meeting that started around noon ended late at night, but I couldn’t help it because the agenda that suddenly appeared today was so urgent.
“…Princess Riley? Keep your torso. Isn’t this the princess’s palace?”
“Yes? Aye, it doesn’t matter. After all, we’re the only ones here. Even if you’re not, you’re tired, so let’s make it comfortable, unnie Se-ah.”
Lee Se-ah frowned and said something, but Riley didn’t care and lay down on the sofa.
The Church side gave out an independent accommodation building to those who participated in the meeting, and thanks to that, each delegation could take a more comfortable rest without being noticed by other forces.
In addition, as soon as they arrived at the inn, they dispersed all the attendants.
Because of that, there were only people Riley could treat comfortably in this place, so there was nothing to worry about.
“…Still, there’s also a heron, but it’s a bit disorganized…”
“Hmm? Do you mean that? Aye, Master. What a surprise, come now! I’ve been with you all the way until I got out of immortality, and I’ve already seen everything I couldn’t see, right? That’s nothing!”
When the words about himself came out of Lee Se-ah’s mouth, Hesperon, who had followed her to her office, immediately intervened.
For some reason, he seemed dazed from earlier, but it didn’t seem like he was completely out of his mind.
“Huh—? What kind of relationship is that?”
Of course, Ise-ah’s eyes narrowed and shone sharply at the words he said without thinking.
“No… Wait, Heron! What else can you not see? Isn’t that tidy? It’s just a problem that can’t be helped because the environment is poor! . . . And the situation we were in was the situation!”
Although Riley jumped up from her seat and let out her anger with a red face.

However, the brief uproar that arose did not last long and quickly subsided.
They chatted like small talk to take a breather, but the reality that came before them was too much for them to pay more attention to such trivial matters.
“Large-scale assault by the Undead Army… What do you think, sister?”
“…Honestly, even now it’s on the edge. Monsters rampaging from all sides, white giants popping out of nowhere, and even periodic raids by the Undead Army. But if the attack gets stronger…”
In fact, until now, even though the immortal king had descended, he was doing well in his own way.
The number of casualties that occurred after his appearance was by no means small, but the countries other than the Principality of Rohan did not suffer enough damage to endanger their existence.
However, if large-scale air raids were launched as Saint Heinrich said, most countries would probably face significant difficulties in maintaining their current society.
Maybe there will be a country that goes beyond stumbling and collapses like the Principality of Rohan.
‘Of course, Thalia Kingdom, which has completely changed its government, is an exception.’
Hesperon, who had been listening to their conversation in a daze, nodded quietly.
He usually had a strong corner, but now he was showing a particularly bad side.
It was all because of the unprecedented heated discussion that followed from his accident.
-Hannibal Strauss: All preparations are coming to an end soon. When do you think it is effective to set the timing of an attack? I will not accept any objection.
The thing that opened the fire was the cause of everything that happened now.
It was Hannibal Strauss, the Immortal King.
-Heinz II: I am in a negative position, but if I have to attack, it would be better after the summit meeting. If things happen too soon, the plans that this side was preparing will be disrupted.
-Heinrich: No, it’s right to stop right now. Hans is moving too fast. We still have a lot of time left, so there’s no need to go this far!
-Harley: I’m hungry, let’s eat! I need to add 10 servings of meat to this late-night snack!
-Hubert: Ttsk, you must be going to enforce it anyway, right? If so, there is a Merchant Union that has been bothering me lately, and I think it’s efficient to use it to sort them out at this point.
-Harris: Ah… That’s annoying… Wouldn’t you like to stop everything…?
-Howard: Oh, that stuffy guy! Are you really going to do it? Then at least don’t mess around with Tarak! Because right now is the most important moment. What I worked on for a long time will soon be completed!
-Hugo: Mr. Uu, you are out of your mind. Hans please!
…As expected, each of them had a distinct personality, so they were showing various reactions according to their inclinations.
Even now, as if they had given up on stopping the rampage, some avatars were even coming up with compromises.
They were truly selfish, self-centered, and extremely ‘Han Seong-hyun’-like.
‘If my body was awake, it would have moved naturally as one without the need for this process… After all, this is a bit difficult.’
As I tried to force myself to move with only my limbs while my head was asleep, I felt like I was staggering just by walking.
Although they all wanted to go forward, the length of their stride and their center of gravity were all different, so it wasn’t a big deal.
-Hesperon: Can I really not do it…? Hey, now I don’t know either. Let’s do it moderately, moderately.
That’s how he left a timid opinion and turned his gaze back to the women in front of him.
The meeting in his brain was going on for quite some time, but the impact on the real world was so minimal that they were still in the middle of the previous conversation.
“Still, the Immortal King’s attack was said to be foreseen by the Holy Son. All that remains is to work harder in each country. I need to quickly check the power that can respond to it…”
“…Riley, are you really going to be okay without me? If something dangerous happens while I’m gone.”
“I’m okay. Actually, I’m more worried about Se-ah. If I go back from here, I’ll be protected only in the imperial palace, so what’s the danger?”
The succession to the throne has already entered the solidifying stage.
One by one, her opponents who confronted her began to lower her tail, and her neutral faction, including the Marquis Lawrence, the owner of her tower in her imperial palace, had already decided to support her.
At least within the imperial palace, safety was guaranteed.
“And since there’s a heron, wouldn’t it be okay if something happened? It’s still impossible to teleport because it was too much at that time, but… Aren’t you the one who escaped from the hands of the Immortal King?”
“Yes? Ahahahaha… This is very burdensome.”
As Riley glanced at him and continued her words, Hes Peron let out an awkward laugh.
Lee Se-ah followed his gaze and looked at him, then let out a deep sigh and shook her head.
“Haa — she still has a lot to teach Heron. It’s been a while since she thought that acting as a society was less dangerous than she thought, and this happened one after another…”
From the appearance of the White Giant to the Undead Army Season 2.
In addition, it was obvious that this situation would continue until the fight with the Immortal King was properly concluded.
“…Couldn’t things get bigger here?”
Lee Se-ah’s words came out as if laughing.
It was a word that came out of my mind in case of old age, but to my surprise, her words penetrated one of the truths of the world.
No way to catch people.
Three more days passed like that.
Finally, the last day of the 2nd Continental Summit is right around the corner.
***
The world tree soared so high that it seemed to pierce the sky.
This gigantic tree, a symbol of the elves’ faith, boasted an enormous size that could be seen at a glance anywhere on the Enamel Continent.
As much as it was real on this earth with such a transcendental appearance, it was natural that it could not but be the subject of awe to other races.
In the first place, the heterogeneous races of the Enamel Continent did not reject their respective religions and brought about regular exchanges, so there was little distance between them.
Unlike the Ion continent, where humans dominated, it is a paradise for different races, where various races gathered to form a nation and society.
But not all races were welcome here—.
One of the representative excluded races was the vampire.
Because of the heterogeneous ecology of living off the blood of others, not only humans, but most of the intelligentsia were reluctant to do so.
For that reason, most vampires chose to remain on the Ion continent even during the Great Migration.
Since they had no choice but to hide and live as parasites on other races, humans were much more attractive prey than other races.
And the race that is ostracized to the extent of being equal to that vampire is…
It was a lycanthrope, a so-called werewolf.
“Hee hee hee! This is the start. My dears! Kick!”
A night with a full moon.
At the same time, the voice of a frivolous man echoed from a hill where the world tree looked quite large, as if the distance was quite close.
Kreur-
Wow! Kung—!
Along with the terrifying cries of wild beasts, bloody eyes began to shine around him.
“Then~ Shall we start playing the clown? Kreurr—!”
And his voice, which was high-pitched, grew thicker as he spoke, and at the end it turned into a growl of a beast.
At first glance, they resemble beastmen, but are fundamentally different from them.
Lycanthropes are a species whose potential grows by eating the heart of their prey, born with dark magic… In reality, more than half of them were monsters.
As a result of that influence, they had a ferocious nature that aimed not only at monsters but also at the heart of the same intelligent body, making them an unwelcome race wherever they went.
If Hans hadn’t discovered Buncheonhoe’s ‘completely evolved creature project’ on Earth, wouldn’t Harley have looked like them?
“Kuhhakhakhak—! Now, let’s go slit the bellies of the peace-stricken pigs!”
Follow the leading monster who bursts out with such a bizarre laugh.
Countless black shadows crossed the mountains of the Enamel Continent under the cover of darkness.

Zefia Republic in the eastern part of the Aeon Continent.
“Are all the preparations… Finished…?”
“That’s right, Rod. If you give me an order, I can start at any time.”
The voice of an old man and an alluring woman’s voice slowly exchanged questions and answers in a wide, dark cavity.
“How could you… Be on time…”
“All of this is possible because of Lord. If it was normal, it would have been impossible…”
In the dark, the silhouette of a woman prostrated herself in homage to the shadow of a dwarf old man.
“Do you know the situation…?”
“Yes, Yupersh and Brokoslak joined hands to devour the lower clans. I never expected to do that, but they will regret their choice.”
She confidently answered the old man’s slow question.
It has no choice but to be, they have invested a really long time… A very long time for this work.
In the process, it was to the extent that Lord did not hesitate to join hands with the pests called the Vow of Reversal.
“I don’t know what the hell they were thinking, but it’s absurd to forcibly merge so many veins and cover them all. A vampire clan alliance hybrid, I’m sure I’m not an idiot who mistakenly thinks I’m a vampire king.”
A woman who mocks in a voice full of ridicule.
Her dwarf old man looked down at her as she scathingly slashed her opponent, then slowly opened her mouth.
“Then… Start right away…”
“I will obey your command.”
And with those words.
A legend that had been dormant in the eastern part of the continent for a long time, the Obipo Clan has begun to move.
Also, the movements of the suspicious forces did not stop here.
“Move quickly, you fools!”
“Cheuk! Ah, I see, Warchief!”
“Tch, I could have finished the job faster if it wasn’t for the revolutionary!”
In the confederation of tribes in the southern part of the continent, of course.
“Are you ready?”
“Once you have done as you commanded. By the way, Your Excellency the Duke, is it really okay to proceed like this…”
“Heh heh, this is all for our empire. Shouldn’t we buy some time until His Highness returns? Surely, you don’t think that the imperial throne is suitable for that lowly bloodline, do you?”
“It’s all out of place!”
From Jeron, the capital of the Azerion Empire.
Even so, the seeds of chaos that had been delayed began to sprout all at once in all directions of Auterica, where tribulation was scheduled.
