Episode 322
Episode 108. There were no skeletons attacking the troops until they reached the barracks where the God Tree was (4) .
The troops were able to safely return to the main barracks outside the forest.
In a short period of time, Yuma had finished worrying about the disposal of Sheltion.
‘The sins committed by humans in the past can’t be forgiven from the point of view of other races. But I can’t just leave the ancient dragon that will kill all of the current generation.’
Igmeseus said that the sealing of Sheltion was done through consultations among all races. In fact, Sheltion was no different from Ma Long because he tried to destroy all other races, not just humans.
Besides, since it was Jeong Hwang who held hands with Amanjo, he became a real Marong. Yuma felt deep anger as he recalled the people of the past who did not know their faces or names.
‘Why are these crazy people messing around with a tree that is still standing? Why am I hitting the dragon who taught me magic?’
The reason why humans are hated by other races is simple. It was because of the ‘humanity’ that repaid grace with an enemy.
Unlike humans, who live only a hundred years or so, spirits and demons and dragons live for thousands of years. From their point of view, the people of today and the people of then would not even look different.
It was Yuma who became a eunuch and lost the will to live just because he showed talent for a moment to Mero.
From the time he became a eunuch, looking back on what he experienced after becoming a eunuch, Yuma was able to fully understand the repulsive nature of the human race. Yuma also had many moments when he hated humans.
Even now in the Kyle Empire, there are frequent cases of nobles killing commoners or taking their wives or daughters and using them as toys for no particular reason.
Perhaps, in the eyes of other races, today’s humans might be no different from those of the past who coveted the tree of God.
It felt dirty and bitter in the mouth, like chewing on dry branches. He said he wasn’t interested in the ancestors, but anyway, this was also a human thing.
In those days, all humans died, but someone had to take responsibility and finish it.
Yuma decides to kill Sheltion by extinguishing the fire in his pipe. Or at least to fix the seal more firmly.
I felt strangely guilty. Killing a dragon who was betrayed by a human in the past and colluded with a demon god was a burden that weighed heavily on his heart.
But if Sheltion were to be released and see so many people dying without knowing why, it would be really intolerable.
“Recall the Royce commanders.”
The meeting started as soon as Yuma returned. Until then, the magicians of Povian waited for Aidan to wake up, only paying attention.
“Wizards, don’t even dream of going back with Barlinan. Wizards should help with this.”
Yuma introduced the wizards of the Povian family to the people gathered at the commander’s barracks. A small laugh burst out at the part where Ballinan actually had ‘run away’ to the east.
Ballinan only lowered her head, blushing. It was more embarrassing to be weighed down by the fear of being killed by Sheltion than to be found out for running away.
“The commander-in-chief’s internal situation is then…
“There is a dragon attached to Amanzo. The skeleton was controlled by a dragon.”
Yuma explained Sheltion in detail. The fact that Sheltion is the creator of magic and what happened in the Gray Forest long ago.
It could be called a heavenly leak, but there was no need to hide it. Yuma thought that as time passed, someday the atrocities committed by humans in the past would become lessons for humans to be born in the future.
Of course, it’s a story after stopping Amanjo’s invasion and ending the forthcoming dragon horse war safely.
What is the use of reflection or apology after destruction?
“At that time, the day will come when humans will be punished for their sins. Maybe the price has already begun. Seeing how Amanjo invaded royalties.”
“It seems that the more I spend with the Commander-in-Chief, the more I learn new truths.”
There were still many secrets that no one except Yuma’s colleagues knew.
Rugal and Rizol’s true identity Alpenter Yuma’s return Hwa’s plan, etc.
Sheltion’s secret story was more like an old myth that humans wanted to erase.
It was the dragons and other races that erased the story of humans coveting the tree of the gods from history.
At that time, Aidan, who was in the medical corps, burst open the commander’s barracks and entered.
“Where is the creator of demon magic! Are you really a creator of magic? Oh!? Lord Yuma! God for the world!
The Povian family is turning the academia upside down once again…
Sreung! Tane’s sword, standing at the entrance, touched Aidan’s throat.
At that moment, the allied commanders gathered in the barracks glared at Aidan.
“Sir Aidan Povian. The kings of the East also do not call the commander-in-chief by name during the strategy meeting. Besides, what country’s law is it for someone who is not officially affiliated with the Allied Forces to enter the conference room without permission?”
“Besides, what about academia? Hey boy, do you think this is a battlefield, your lab?”
When the commanders, including the King of Fights, scolded him sternly, Yuma raised his hand.
“Retract your sword, Tane. Even Sir Aidan, hide your excitement and sit here. When dealing with Sheltion, it seems that we will need the help of wizards.”
“Hmmmm! I’m sorry. All right, Commander-in-Chief. Originally, our mission was to bring Vali Nun back, but considering the situation, we will help you deal with the dragon.”
As he said that, Aidan’s face was full of blush.
He had already forgotten about the hardships of the past year, thinking that he might be able to see the creator of magic and maybe do some research.
“ha. Westerners don’t know what the world is going to be like now, don’t they? Across the sea, the East was pushed all the way to the Central Desert by demons whom it hadn’t seen before, so it was almost a big deal.
A lot of good people died!”
“We set off east a year ago to find Barlinan, so we don’t know what the situation is in the west now.
While we were tracking down Ballinan, we were only aware that something nasty was going on. I rely on rumors.”
The meeting was cut short. Yuma thought of all the people to deal with Sheltion and held a meeting to inform the commanders.
Yuma’s colleagues, some of the highest-ranking soldiers of the Allied Forces, including Tane, and wizards were scheduled to participate in the mission to deal with Sheltion.
The rest of the personnel lead the troops and clear the skeletons inside the Gray Forest to secure their way. That was Yuma’s plan.
Anyway, no matter how many soldiers there were, they were not suitable to deal with Sheltion.
“Some commanders might do well to march with half their men around the gray forest and set up camp near Highmac. To secure the front line and figure out the enemy’s movement.”
When Lois offered her opinion, Yuma nodded. Since we didn’t know how long it would take to deal with Sheltion, someone had to lead the troops and head for High Mac.
Besides, there might be some Yang-min still alive and trembling in fear in Hi-Mac.
The role was taken over by Randell and Feitz.
“Before the main force arrives, let’s get rid of all the demons in High Mac and wait. The King and I will set off for my work right away.”
“Sir Randall. Just in case, you shouldn’t fight blindly like last time. And if you encounter Amanzo, avoid fighting for now.”
“Even if you look at it like this, I have hundreds of times more war experience than my friends. Please don’t worry too much.”
After the meeting, the commanders returned to their seats.
Ballinan and Aidan didn’t go back and stayed at the commander’s barracks to talk with Yuma.
“You seem to have done amazing things, Lord Yuma. the commander-in-chief Your actions are unconventional both in the West and in the East.”
Aidan was a talkative person.
He described in detail his experiences while chasing Barlinan.
It was from the episode that Adolfovien kicked his sons in the shin in anger and boarded a ship heading east the next day.
The Fovian family wizards pursued Ballinan based on rumors left by Yuma.
In the light of Azif, I heard about the misfortune of the slave trader Lung Doge, and in Nabalu, I was treated extremely warmly by the Puals family.
Naturally, he stopped by Balipoa and Silmarmus Icahn, and even went to the Kantra Imperial Castle to have an audience with Rugal.
The rumors were so mixed and so large that it was to request an official document to search for Ballinan.
“When I went to the island called Pora Pora, which had a strange name, and was caught in a magical bombardment and ended up adrift in the sea, I really made up my mind that if I found my younger brother, I would definitely kill him.”
“You had a lot of trouble. Have you been to Porapora Island?”
“No, you didn’t go in. It was a miracle that none of them drowned in the sea. In most regions of the East, if we don’t have artifacts, we’re almost as weak as ordinary people.”
“You unintentionally caused a nuisance to the Phobian family.”
“It’s okay. My father will probably be more excited than I am if I tell him that he has come to meet the creator of magic. Vali You’ll probably be locked up when you go back. I mean in the basement This time my father was really angry.”
“I’m not going back.”
“If you’re killed by the creator of magic, you won’t be able to go back.”
“Sir Aidan, I’ve been curious since before. How come you were so sure you couldn’t use magic as soon as you saw Sheltion?”
When Yuma asked, Aidan shook his hand saying it was no big deal.
“Ah, I knew it after swallowing a little of the expanded mana. It is convenient to think that there is a lot of oil but no fire. Only wizards with Hort can recognize it. Maybe if you bring a novice wizard, you’ll be able to recognize it.”
This was the reason why Ballinan overestimated the danger of the red swelling magic.
He only had magic knowledge and no Hort, so he judged only by his appearance.
“That’s why I thought it was just a dragon with a disability. But I thought he would fire his breath… The dragon’s breath is magic. It draws a magic circle with blood inside the body and shoots it.”
“So does that mean Sheltion can use magic?”
Then Aidan shook his head.
“no. Oddly enough, it seems I can only use my breath. It was not by disarming the spells that the creators of magic offset the ‘encroachment’ we had spread. Mana couldn’t penetrate the body buried under the ground.”
“Why?”
“Under the ground where the body of the creator was buried… there seemed to be some mighty shield. It felt like a root when I recalled the feeling of the magic passing away.”
“Root.”
“exactly. Magical power is like a hand, and the touch of everything I touch is transmitted to me. Sheltion’s covered body must have been covered with something like roots or vines.”
Is it the root that formed the tree of God? Yuma continued to listen to Aidan’s story with a bitter feeling.
“To defeat Sheltion, the creator of magic, you must get rid of it. You don’t have to dig up all the land. If only that shield can be removed, the encroachment will work.”
“I am sure.”
“If that method fails, there is no other way that I can think of other than for Lord Ma Yu to attack with the warriors. But there must be a reason why the Lord asked us for help, right?”
“I’m quick to notice that someone might not be Povian. That’s right. It wasn’t full power, but my aura lightly flicked the blade. With a clang sound.”
“First of all, one thing is certain: you can’t break the underground defenses with magical powers. If Lord breaks the shield, we might as well try a way to spread the encroachment.”
