annihilate (2)
203
Rey was led by Luna’s hand and entered the gap in space.
Only after entering the gap in the space did Rey realize what Ult meant before.
This place was a place with a completely different concept from subspace.
In the process of Blink’s manifestation, it was a gap in something… that occurred in the passage of the stuck or overlapping space.
It was a difficult concept for Rey to fully understand, so that level of description was Rey’s limit.
Floating through the gaps in the space with a strange feeling of floating, after a certain amount of time, Luna led Rey and Ult outside.
Whoops!
The heat generated by Meteor remained in the air and greeted Rey.
The ground was still shaking slightly due to the aftermath of the earthquake.
As the dust clouded his vision, Ray looked around.
The underground city, whose ceiling had collapsed, completely collapsed and lost its shape due to a meteorite impact.
It was difficult to find traces of the existence of an underground city unless the land was dug.
There was some distance between the ‘underground city’ where Rey stood and the ‘underground fortress 2 km below’ guarded by the Lord-class demons.
‘Nevertheless, the fact that it has caused this much damage…’
More than a hundred kilometers in radius must have been devastated.
At least hundreds of kilometers would have suffered direct damage from Meteor.
While Ray was making a complicated expression, Luna vomited blood.
“Ugh…!”
“Luna!”
Luna was too overbearing.
The circle overheats to perform beyond its limits and is partially damaged.
Damaged circles had to take time to heal themselves.
Separately, the circle was overloaded and injuries caused by applying pressure to the body had to be quickly taken with potions and the like.
Rey took out the potion he had in his arms and opened it.
Since it was obtained from Ernst, it was hard to find a better potion than this in the Empire.
When Rey gave Luna a potion, Luna’s complexion improved little by little.
After confirming that Luna had calmed down, Rey looked around again.
Meteor wasn’t as good at killing power as ‘appearance’.
Of course, if he was hit directly by Meteor, no matter what he did, it was useless.

No superman or strong fortress could avoid destruction.
However, Meteor went through a highly magical process to develop, but the result was close to a pure mass weapon.
For superhumans such as knights and wizards, attacks without mana were quite easy to resist.
If it’s somewhere far outside the range of craters created by Meteor…
A skilled knight or wizard could survive without losing his life on the premise that he was well prepared.
Moreover, the demons had good recovery on average.
So, somehow, he was able to survive, break through the rubble that covered his body, and climb up to the ground.
Pagagak!!!
Rei smashed the head of the demon, who had barely protruded to the ground.
Rey smashed the demon’s head that had exploded just in case, and felt the mana in the air.
The unholy aura close to the demonic landscape that originally engulfed this place has not changed at all.
In order to ‘purify’ the already corrupted land, it seemed certain that something more than physical power was needed.
Rey asked Luna for forgiveness.
“Luna, I’ll take this.”
Rey, who put the bracelet on his wrist again, ordered Aftel.
“Aftel, search for signs of life nearby.”
[All right.]
Upon inspection, several more demon worshipers were buried underground.
Better to remove it before you come to your senses.
Rey asked Ult to protect Luna, then found the demon worshipers buried in the ground one by one and removed them.
After a while, Rey, who finished her work, crossed the blurry vision and turned towards Luna.
Forbidden forests will no longer be called forests.
At your best, you’ll get a name about the Forbidden Wastes.
This place was shattered like this, and there was no way the city inhabited by the people would be safe.
How many civilians were killed in Meteor’s aftermath?
It would be difficult to count them one by one.
“…”
Is this really a massacre?
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Not. It was never called that.
Luna ended the situation with a sacrifice much smaller than Rey’s original estimate.
It would be right to say that Luna’s judgment and actions were heroic, as they stopped and annihilated the demon worshipers with a much smaller sacrifice.
If anyone knew the truth, they would accuse this incident of a massacre.
However, it was nothing but worthless bullshit to say that he could not come up with a solution.
Of course, Ray knew.
That Luna’s safety was more important than a cause in the value judgment that Luna performed this time.
Rey knew that, but couldn’t say anything to Luna.
Rey did not love this world, and was a human being who could endure even more terrible sacrifices for only one person.
It was ridiculous to criticize Luna for such a subject.
Luna looked at Rey with silver eyes.
Luna was preparing to accept any criticism from Rey calmly.
Rey looked into her silver eyes and remained silent, placing her hand over Luna’s blue hair.
“If you plan to use a magic of this scale in the future, please tell me…”
“…”
“Sacrifice… You should only take it when absolutely necessary. You shouldn’t force others to make sacrifices for temporary convenience.”
“…I know.”
“It was a lot of hard work. I was able to prevent a situation that would have been a much bigger disaster thanks to Luna. But…”
Ray asked with a worried face.
“If it turns out that we dropped Meteor, it would be very difficult… Can we hide it?”
“…you just have to testify that the demon worshipers caused it.”
After entering the demon worshipers’ core facility, the demon worshipers twisted Meteor’s drop point, which they were preparing to drop into the center of Alimo.
If we could summarize Luna’s argument in one line, it was as follows.
At this point in time when all physical evidence has disappeared, others have no choice but to trust the most reasonable and common sense statement.
Rey and Luna could have obtained Imperial intelligence from Aftel, so they could anticipate and prepare for the imperial investigation team’s interrogation.
Above all, Rey and Luna were war heroes, only for their achievements.
Unless Ernst, who was behind him, suddenly struck him in the back, the probability of being dragged by force was low.
Rey listened to Luna’s story and looked back to Ult.
“Then, only our Viscount Gadi can kiss you.”
Ult took a deep breath.
“Okay. I will.”
There was no coercive effect, but Ult swore to cooperate with Rey and Luna for now.
There was no way Ult could get out of a situation like this by himself.
Moreover, if Rey’s identity was the real “Rei”, if Rey had a problem, the Count of Phillips would be destroyed, and it was difficult for Titty to survive.
In many ways, even Ult had to cooperate with Rey.
Ult had finished listening to Luna’s instructions on how to kiss her, then found Valerius and narrowed her brow.
At first I didn’t even know it was Valerius.
Valerius became ‘what was Valerius’ and was almost completely crumbled.
Wasn’t it meant to be used once and returned?
Valerius, who had the highest tactical value among the artifacts he had, was smashed, so he couldn’t control his expression.
Still, Ult couldn’t catch up.
Ult didn’t have the judgment like a fool enough to ask the wizard who just deployed Meteor and blown away a 100km radius of what to do with my artifact.
Luna followed Ult to look at Valerius and opened her mouth.
“…I’ll fix it.”
“…”
Luna said that she would try to repair it, but did not say that she would fix it and return it.
Ult, accustomed to the mercenary’s puns, thought he had eaten Valerius back, but he didn’t argue.
If you look closely, it seems that Reina and Luna are doing the same thing, Ult muttered inwardly.
In any case, it was time to return quickly.
Although Meteor destroyed everything in the area, the skilled demon worshipers who were set foot outside a 20 km radius of the underground fortress could have managed to save their lives.
Before encountering them, they had to get out of the realm of the Forbidden Forest.
Rey picked up Luna, who couldn’t move well.
The wind spirit pushed away the thick dust, opening the sight briefly and making breathing easier.
Rey took direction and moved with Ult, then frowned after not long enough.
jerk
I felt a sign of something approaching.
It was a strange thing to be human.
Ray made his senses as sharp as possible, then burst out laughing.
“No matter how much you are… It seems like you’ve been hit directly by Meteor, how can you survive?”
A demon who had six pairs of eyes was approaching.
Five of the six pairs of eyes disappeared, and even the two remaining pupils were cloudy.
Most of the demon’s body was also melted, and old corpses were fused at the melted point.
“…”
The demons had made the wrong decision.
When Luna could not completely control mana and exposed Meteor’s existence at an earlier time than expected, it was a clear opportunity for the demons.
In retrospect, I could have made a much better decision.
However, the demons did not give up their madness and obsession towards ‘unification’ until the very end, and they were also suspicious of Meteor’s existence and were directly hit by Meteor inside the underground fortress.
the last moment.
In the end, the demons used themselves as a skeleton to unite with the corpses of the old past.
However, it was not a proper union.
The result of the unity achieved by the demons was simply a by-product of madness and a mass of moving corpses.
Reason had already disappeared, and only feelings close to hatred remained in the corpse and approached Rey’s party.
Rey clicked her tongue briefly.
It was a piece of flesh that could no longer be seen as even a Lord-level inaction, but the power of the evil god was compressed into a terrible concentration.
Even when the condition is good, it is close, but in the current situation, the difficulty is very tight.
Rey put Luna down and looked back at Ult.
“Viscount Gadi? Are you able to fight?”
“…I was just about to faint.”
It was serious.
It was a car I was worried about whether the wind spirit or Raiden wouldn’t throw it away and take it with me if I passed out.
Ult screamed in pain, but he had to rip that awful piece of flesh to death anyway.
Ult received the potion that Rey had thrown into it, poured it inside, and took out the Genesis.
Then, the sky roared loudly.
woohoo!!
A blue light fluttered from the sky and stretched out to the ground.
The sky, once shattered by Meteor, emits strong energy waves for several hours as the rift heals.
In the process, the energy wave could act as a powerful beacon, recognizable from a distance.
Using this, it was possible to create an exit to the gate on the ground close to the sky where the sky was open, but of course, it was not possible with a large crowd of ordinary wizards.
“…haha.”
Rey sharpened the sensations in her body, then smiled.
A knight wearing armor engraved with the imperial design was the first to step on the ground beyond the gate that connected from the sky.
Starting with him, the superhumans who radiate powerful momentum began to appear in formation.
The three high-ranking wizards under his command, besides Isabelle, the Blue Mage Master.
In addition to the green mage Grandel, fifteen general wizards under his command.
Two high-ranking wizards and twenty ordinary wizards belonging to the Imperial Mato.
Three Royal Guards besides Dacaus who were given field command.
Shahni, the commander of the Knights of Elune, the Knights Templar under the direct control of the imperial family, and twenty knights under his command.
Twenty Templars who were officially recognized for their status and abilities by the denomination.
And thirty troops urgently drawn from the high-ranking nobles.
Even in the Empire, those classified as the most elite have crossed the temporarily created gate.
Some of them knew Reid’s face.
Among them was Shay, who had escorted Spera in the past, and Delied Frieslan, whom they first met during the Battle of Warp Gate.
The Royal Guard, Decaus, identified the demons made of terrible flesh and drew a sword.
“Fulfill His Majesty’s orders.”
Elimination of demon worshipers.
Recruitment and protection of surviving spies who entered the underground city to gather information.
Both were part of the mission the emperor gave to Dicaus.
Rey, who murmured that everyone had come too soon, took a step back from the demons and smiled coolly.
“Since you’ve come all the way here, you have to give way to the last hit.”
Mana fluctuated again in the scattered dust .
