41. The Gate of Extinction (1)
Elijah’s troops were scouting and spotted an unusual movement.
To sum it up, it’s like this.
Cain and Levi, from the Bebel family, were heading straight to Elijah’s mansion with an army.
Honest move with no intention of circumventing or hiding.
A head-on collision that doesn’t care at all about supply and maintenance.
It seems that they are prepared for a complete war of attrition.
This happened because of the character Elijah.
An ultra-long-distance teleporter who can travel several days at once.
Not even traveling alone.
If you wish, you can move dozens of people and supplies to supply them all at once.
There is no such wizard on the continent.
Even Balak can’t do that.
If you want to move far, you have to move alone, and if you are not alone, the distance is extremely reduced.
Asymmetric power called Elijah.
As a result, general strategies and tactics became useless.
The only thing they could hope for was the accumulation of Elijah’s blood.
And in recent days, Elijah has been away for a long time because of me.
It was fitting to judge that Elijah was resting from exhaustion, and they hurriedly moved.
“Duke Balak is also following Levi and Cain with Sunspot. It is estimated that Balak is one step behind, but it seems that the two of them did it on their own.”
“What about the Imperial Army?”
“It seems to be barely following Balak later than Balak.”
“Looks like the gore is very angry. Seeing them move quickly without any internal coordination.”
A simple conference room made by renovating the living room of a mansion.
Elijah knocked on the table.
It is a habit when you are worried.
“There is no Imperial Army…. Miguel?”
“Yes. Miss.”
“Send a peace agreement envoy to the imperial family.”
Elijah continued to explain.
“No matter how they treat me, in the end, their goals and mine are aligned. Bevel’s demise. After that, I don’t care if the empire monopolizes continental power or not. Because you won’t be able to lay a hand on me anyway. So, I’m giving you a word in advance about how it would be like to conclude an agreement to end the war after killing all Bevel.”
Miguel quickly wrote down the contents.
“The anti-Imperial faction that followed me may rebel, but if I throw some bait as a reward, they will shut up. Because they did not really intervene in this war for the equal rights of mankind. If you beat the abacus, you will find out which side is profitable.”
Elijah glanced up at me.
A soft smile spreads across her cold, frozen face.
When I spoke to people again, I went back to expressionless.
“At this point, the outside forces would have known the consequences of touching me. There is no need to go to war any longer.”
This is the conversation I had with Elijah before coming to this conference room.
She vowed to end the war as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, it’s because of me.
After erasing the Bevel family, he said he just wanted to spend time with me.
I decided to turn a blind eye to the fact that the imperial family tried to kill him for his sake.
The reason why the Empire teamed up with Bebel and the Wolsin Church to get rid of Elijah was to prevent her power from being concentrated on her.
But Elijah decided to exterminate Bebel and give her imperial family power.
While maintaining her own land and power in moderation and somewhat independent.
He said he didn’t want to get caught up in this dispute and lose his time with me.
“I will deliver that.”
“Maybe this will be the final battle.”
A few more discussions followed.
I didn’t have anything to listen to carefully, so I checked the characteristics while remembering only what was appropriately necessary.
Full Moon.
It’s not just the name that has changed this time.
[Full moon.]
-The moon that was put together was completed as the sun.
-The moon can shine only when there is the sun, and only the moon can fully illuminate the sun and make it perfect.
-The owner can receive magical power from the power of the sun.
-Always have full immunity to all fire.
‘What… A lot has been added.’
In summary, I am now safe from Elijah.
There is nothing to burn.
As a special feature, you have complete immunity to fire.
‘Is it because it’s an attribute completed with the sun?’
No matter what, we will soon go to war.
I can’t help but be glad that I became immune to a certain target.
It suddenly comes to mind.
The second tragedy.
Elijah, who threw fire at me with a weeping face.
The Comedy of Elijah.
I was lying down with a bandage wrapped around my body as if I was seriously injured.
‘… No way. Probably not.’
The reason I was optimistic was because of the memories that came to me afterward.
I am lying down.
The image of Elijah sitting on top of it and closing her eyes and bringing her face close to her as if to kiss her.
At that time, the scent, the body temperature, the sound of breathing….
‘Stop!’
Looking at Elijah’s skeptical profile, I had to try to shake off the bad imaginations that came to her.
*
“Judas!”
“Hey! Judas is here!”
“Yuda-!”
As soon as I left the mansion, several members of the SS rushed at me.
In the conference room, only Dylan, the head of the SS, was present.
“Hey man!”
“Billion-!”
Richard came running and he hugged me like he was about to hit me.
“You bastard, man… ! You really are… !”
From noble mtl dot com
“Yes, yes. Nice to see you again after a long time.”
“It’s just you, really… !”
“Are you sure you are crying?”
“Crying sucks….”
Richard hurriedly backs away and shows his back.
I see her crying all the time.
… I’m sorry for nothing.
“Judas.”
Lindel smiled weakly at me.
“I thought you were dead.”
“Um….”
“The lady said no, but I thought it was a mistake because she was having a hard time….”
He held out his hand before he could say anything more.
A handshake request.
“It’s nice to see you again like this.”
I hesitated briefly before grabbing her hand.
I know it’s shameless, but I can’t calm the mood.
Everyone greets me with a smile, but I have to smile too.
Just then, Dylan tapped me on the shoulder.
“Welcome back.”
“Thank you for your hospitality.”
“That’s a very naughty guy, uh!”
Richard groaned with his back still showing.
“It’s because I’m not being honest.”
“That person will be like that forever.”
Gauss and Esmo teased me from the side.
Jerry added a word to that.
“But for my sister-in-law….”
“Noisy!”
He shouted and strode toward me.
He hugs her roughly again and pats her on the back.
“… Welcome back kid.”
I also laughed and slapped him on the back.
“Yes. I am here.”
Sorry for worrying you.
I decided to bury those words.
*
Elijah put the necklace on me.
An artifact that can be moved to Elijah at any time, or Elijah can find me.
That I left behind.
‘Face close….’
I slightly turned her head and examined her complexion.
It’s a face full of worries.
I think I know what she’s worried about.
“I will fight too.”
“No. Dangerous. You are in a cage.”
“A cage?”
“… Ah. No. It means to rest in a safe mansion.”
It’s kind of embarrassing, but let’s move on anyway.
“Didn’t it be said that Cain and Levi were in the lead, and Balak was following them? I can’t let you go alone, ma’am.”
“It is dangerous. I can’t be worried.”
“I can’t rest in peace because I’m worried about the young lady.”
“Who cares about who….”
The corners of his mouth twitch as if he doesn’t hate it even though he grumbles.
“And you said you wanted to end the war quickly and stay with me, right? I don’t have that kind of mind either… I didn’t….”
I felt embarrassed when I talked about it.
Unknowingly, I blurted out the end of her words and avoided her gaze.
Elijah also bowed her head, blushing.
“That, and! In case of danger, I will send a signal with my necklace. Certainly.”
“Haa…. This stubbornness is real….”
Finally resigned, Elijah sighed.
“If you are in danger, you must call. It’s a promise.”
Elijah tugged on her collar and pressed her face.
Her determined eyes stared right at me as if she were going to fulfill her promise.
“I promise.”
“… Okay.”
I’m not doing this recklessly.
I don’t know exactly how strong my opponent is.
However, the new magic attached to Elijah continued to rise.
[HP: 101.0]
At this level, it’s worth fighting against the head of the Imperial Guard.
After putting on her necklace, Elijah slowly leaned against me.
It is moderately heavy.
I also carefully wrapped my arms around Elijah’s small shoulders.
It’s warm.
“Let me check one last time. Are you really going to fight?”
“Yes. Miss.”
“Can you promise not to get hurt?”
“Um…. I’m assuming that….”
“I hesitated. No.”
“I will be very careful and careful.”
At the firm answer, Elijah spoke as if resigned.
“How am I going to beat you…. It’s a promise. Never get hurt If you get hurt, I’ll scold you.”
“… I understand for now.”
“Okay. The plan I just came up with is simple. I’m going to clear them out before Balak joins them. I’m moving separately in case I get hit, so we have to split up and fight.”
“Who should I take on?”
“Cain. I definitely want to kill Levi.”
Contrary to what he says, his gentle smile is refreshing.
“Were you attacked by Ramek?”
“I did it once when I was in Bethany.”
“As I found out, it was a request that Levi accepted. So, I will return it myself.”
“… ….”
“I’ll clean it up and join you as soon as possible, but I can’t guarantee it. It seems like you thoroughly prepared your archmage equipment and strategies because of me.”
Elijah lifted her head and looked up at me with her worried eyes.
“Cain is an objectively excellent swordsman. She might be dangerous therefore… You have to be careful.”
“The young lady must be safe.”
Elijah chuckled.
“I will never lose. I will not die.”
She dedicated her life to killing the Bebel family.
Before that, I will not be able to die.
My prediction was wrong.
“Because you are here.”
“… ….”
“Stay where I come back. Then, I can beat anyone.”
“… I will keep that in mind.”
Elijah backed away slowly.
Her fingertips carelessly touch my fingers.
“What I didn’t say last time…. I’ll come back and do it, so don’t get hurt.”
“… All right.”
Her Even if you don’t hug her, she’s still warm as if you’re holding her.
Residual heat lingers in her heart.
“And the specific raid method….”
***
Cain drove her horse in front of her.
She is marching with all her own troops.
Although it is the Second Coming of the Age of Myth, Elijah is also a human being.
She can’t help but be exhausted.
And now is the time.
This is a great opportunity not to be missed.
He checked with the wizards he hired from time to time.
“Is the magic interference field working?”
“Yes. I am fine.”
Elijah’s most terrifying magic is teleportation.
It often appears in the blink of an eye and runs away after pouring magic bombardments.
A tactic that is almost like a foul that you have no choice but to get.
To stop him, Cain and Levi hired many wizards.
As a wizard who can unleash a magic-disrupting force field.
If this is the case, no matter how good a mage is, you won’t be able to access it by teleport.
Cain’s side can’t use magic either, but it’s worth it.
Any price for countering Elijah’s magic.
‘Move like this and occupy the mansion. No matter how good I am, I am an individual. If there is no base and base, it will inevitably collapse.’
As I was thinking about what was to come, something sparkled in the sky.
‘… What?’
Then it sparkled again and disappeared.
The wizard was startled.
“Te, it’s a teleport reaction!”
“At that height?”
Teleports beyond the range of the magic force field.
But it’s too high.
If you fall, you will die.
‘Why did you do that… ?’
A strange sense of incongruity.
Goosebumps slowly run down your spine.
Unfounded anxiety wells up, as if you need to get out of here right now.
“Something is falling!”
Someone shouted in astonishment.
At the spot where the light was just shining, an object was falling freely.
Right, towards Cain’s procession.
A chunk of rock and a large tree were falling.
That’s not magic.
It just moved into the sky with a large, heavy object.
And in that gap, disparate objects were mixed.
Something like a comet shining ivory.
A light as if fragments of the moon are falling like shooting stars.
It was a human who put forward a sword.
“Sah, man?!”
“Damage everyone! Crash!”
The rocks and giant trees hit the ground like hailstones.
-Kung, Koo-Goo-!
The procession lost order and scattered in disorder.
Several people died after being crushed by fallen objects.
At its heart.
– Bang!
A person fell.
A thick layer of dust flew around, and a knight appeared from within the pit.
It was clear who the ivory-colored shining sword was pointing to.
Cain also recognized him only with his armament.
After Elijah’s teleportation, he fell safely with the help of wind magic.
Judah looked ahead.
I just had a goal in front of me.
Blonde red eyes.
An unusual appearance even at first glance.
Cain D. Bebel, the first-born of the Bevel family.
‘… ?’
Seeing him, Judas’ heart ached.
Black armor.
A blazing sun is embossed on his chest.
This is the armor style of the Dark Spot, the Bebel family’s dark gang.
Cain, who once trained as a member of the Sunspot, was proud of his days and still wears armor.
Judah sees the armor of the sunspot for the first time now.
Even so, somehow, I seem to have seen it somewhere.
In a very unpleasant way….
– Tung!
I hit the flying bolt with my shield.
Even though she knew that she couldn’t afford to be immersed in unpleasant emotions, her heart did not settle easily.
Cain drew her sword as she mounted her horse.
A blade that glistens in the moonlight.
And gushing blood.
Even though there was no actual blood splatter, Judas had such a vision.
Cain pointed her sword at Judas.
“All around. Surround him and kill him.”
You are surrounded by enemy forces.
Many people died from falling objects, but many survived.
Even in the midst of this, Judas’ gaze did not depart from Cain.
