Episode 421
Episode 136. Disappeared things return as swords (2)
The demon king of the underworld who joined hands with Rizol.
There was nothing to think about. The name that immediately popped into Yuma’s mind was Gentleman Galos. A person who governed the northern part of the Underworld and disappeared along with Haider.
“Rather than that, Ariel-sama’s wounds are deeper. How should I treat…
[No, I’m fine. It’s because my stamina is low, but it’s not like a fatal injury.]
Kreuk keureuk!
Ariel let out a bloody breath. Although he said it wasn’t a fatal injury, he was very disturbed as a huge dragon was pouring blood from his whole body in front of him.
“Should I at least stop the bleeding? How should I tie it?”
[Thank you Marlon, but stay still.
Yuma Can you keep this ice a little longer? You feel much more comfortable.]
“Of course.”
Yuma covered Ariel’s entire body with ice. Ariel then closed her eyes as if she had started to recover on her own, and took a deep breath as she rotated the magical energy in her body.
After about 10 minutes, Ariel’s bleeding was noticeably less than before.
In the meantime, the party kept their mouths shut so as not to disturb Ariel’s concentration.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
“It’s better. I almost died.”
said Ariel, transforming into a human. It was a tired face, but the crisis was over.
“Please explain what happened to Miss Ariel. Are you saying that Risol and the demon king of the underworld are holding hands?”
“It is literally, Lord Duran. Rizol raised an allied army with the Underworld Demon King. All over the human world, countries that sympathize with them are emerging one after another. A great war will begin.”
“A great war…? Besides, the allied forces?”
Ariel’s explanation that followed was this.
Rizol, who had been hiding her identity and existence until now, has suddenly begun to reveal herself to the whole world.
He made no secret of his transcendent powers and made a clear distinction between those who swore obedience and those who did not. Gives strength to the former, brings death to the latter.
The alliance that Rizol named the ‘New World’ and built grew rapidly like a snowball.
It was thanks to the fact that the common people welcomed the appearance of Risol more than the leaders of each country.
It was no different that the commoners followed Lisol.
This is because the highest value that Rizol put forward to the New World Alliance was ‘equality’.
“…Equality.”
“Most Western countries are rapidly being absorbed by Rizol. The leaders are afraid of his power and the common people want his power. Because he promised a world of equality for both nobles and commoners.”
“Does this sound like a story you’ve heard a lot? Isn’t it similar to what Yuma has been doing?”
“Please don’t compare me to that crazy wizard. Rizol’s value may be equality, but what he wants is human suffering.
restore the light.”
“That’s not the only difference from Yuma, Marlon. The Guardians… excluded Slaves and Miryak from that equality. I proclaimed that only nobles and commoners would be able to live in an equal world.”
Slaves and miryak were excluded from the world of equality.
At that point, Yuma immediately grasped Rysol’s intentions.
‘The persecuted slaves and Miryak are all planned to be sent to the Empire. Naturally, the empire would fall into chaos. Whether you embrace them or abandon them, you will be in a dilemma.’
If the New World Alliance accepts abandoned slaves and miryaks, the maintenance of the empire’s system will be in danger, and division will begin immediately if the system is lax.
And if the division begins with war on the horizon, the results will be obvious.
If you don’t accept slaves and miryak.
First of all, the total amount of pain will increase, so Gile’s restoration will get closer, and ‘Yuma Drake’, who is in fact the center of the empire, will lose trust.
That would be tantamount to betraying the trust of countless people who have supported Yuma.
In particular, the prestige of ‘Guardian of the East’ would fall to the ground, and the entire East would turn against him.
As Ariel said, if the Great War began, Yuma would have to borrow the power of the East. Losing the East at a time when the West is rapidly being encroached on was too great a loss.
More than anything.
Hella Rose, the current empress, and Yuma Drake, the most powerful person in the empire. They were never people who could abandon Miryak and their slaves.
Rizol was taking advantage of their inclinations to start a war with a deck of cards that would have the greatest advantage.
‘You’re using very tired numbers from the start, son of a bitch. But I never thought it would show up like this all of a sudden.’
A situation is unfolding in which Resol has no choice but to become impatient.
Although the war hadn’t started in earnest yet, and he hadn’t even heard a proper outline, Yuma understood Rizol’s current move that way.
‘But the showmanship is too strong. This is far from Resol’s way.
Given his abilities I’ve seen so far, conquering the world would be ridiculous, so why bother building alliances while showing off strength?’
Because of ‘intervention restrictions’, all powers cannot be used. It was to speed up the restoration of Zeil by setting up a war among humans.
Whether it was the former or the latter, the reason why Resol became impatient was a problem that could be understood without worrying.
‘Rizole must have a reason for Geile to recover quickly. It must be because Hwa’s return is getting closer for some reason, and he must have decided that the current course of action was the best.’
For the past month, Rizol’s actions have been marked by shocks far exceeding those of Yuma’s in her days as a commoner. If it was similar, it could have been a similar move, but the speed and ripple effect were different from Yuma at that time.
First of all, Rizol was able to use numerous transcendental magic, including ‘teleportation’.
Because of this, it was possible to occupy almost simultaneously no matter how far the distance between countries was, and as it frequently produced miracles in the physical sense, its presence was incomparable to Yuma at the time.
Of course, the leaders of the small Western countries did not have the ability to keep Risol in check. There was no way the criminals’ magic or weapons could work on Risol, the transcendent of transcendents.
In other words, it was like this.
At some point, when Risol suddenly appears in the middle of the palace, the leaders of the small country have to make a choice.
whether to follow him or perish.
“I even destroyed a country in one day using Meteor Strike. It is a kingdom that humans call Sandel. That was a week ago.”
“Sandel is a small country near the southern border of the Empire, so you can destroy it in one day? Even with Meteor Strike?”
Meteor Strike was a linkage magic used by Archmages for war. It was a magic with destructive power similar to Duran’s Sky Split, so it wasn’t enough to destroy the country at once.
“When I heard the stories of the other dragons who were sent in haste, Meteor Strikes were falling like meteors all over the country. Even though there is no living life left in the land, it does not end…
“Huh!”
“Not only that. A few days ago, there was a direct attack on the mainland of the empire and the capital city. Rizol launched the attack alone and was stopped by the Lord.”
Hearing those words, Duran raised his energy like fire and hit the light floor with his fist. With that alone, one side of the cliff broke off and the waves below surged wildly.
Marlon and Zecca were so angry that they couldn’t even breathe for a moment.
“your majesty! Your Majesty’s safety is in trouble!”
“Calm Hungbun, Sir Duran.
Lord himself defended the capital, and the damage was negligible.
The empress is also safe.”
Even after hearing that Hela was safe, Duran couldn’t seem to calm down his anger for a while.
Losing the first emperor right in front of his eyes and leaving the empire for a while, he could not stand it because he was pathetic that his demonic powers extended to Hela.
“I also had battles in several areas while I was on my way here under the Lord’s command. I encountered the top demons in the summer and got injured while fighting them.”
Not only in the current empire, but all over the world.
Only the ancient sites around the world, including Tejiz, had a strangely peaceful appearance, but outside, the spirit of war could be read all over the world.
Of course, the party in Tejiz could not know such a fact at all. Except for the seal, it was only natural that the sky was clear everywhere and it was full of beautiful nature.
The people here cannot feel the battle that took place hundreds and thousands of kilometers away.
“Wait a minute, Ariel. If it’s demons of the lower world, are you saying that demons of the lower world are already coming out of the demon cave?”
Just the fact that Risol and Galos held hands and built an alliance made my head dizzy.
However, if even the demons of the lower world, the tribes that caused the dragon horse war before returning, were showing up, it would be a burden even for a Yuma. Doesn’t it seem like the first team in the summer has not been put in yet? The demon god Sekmeira sent a message to Lord.”
“What message?”
“It was about dividing the human world into three parts. Risol, Sekmeira, and the Balaur.”
It was so absurd that I couldn’t even speak.
“Haha…
” It’s not a lie because it’s what Ariel said, but it’s just a story that’s hard to believe. uh? By the way, if the whole empire is in the middle of a war… what about Lord Harrell’s Castle? How was it there?”
Marlon suddenly said with a pale face.
“Currently, there is no safe area except for the capital guarded by the Lord and some parts of the city where the Balaur have applied.”
The moment Ariel answered, Yuma’s face also became contemplative.
“Uncle Haka and Maria.
shit!”
Even Ariel couldn’t know exactly what the situation was in the Harrel family’s estate.
However, Yuma and Marlon knew that there were only a few high-ranking knights in the Harrel family estate where Haka and Maria were living.
Even if there were a group of high-ranking knights, they wouldn’t be able to stop the attack of the high-ranking demons or Galos Rizol.
“Yuma, I must go to my father and Maria first. Right Now.”
“Take the Tulka.”
“That goddamn wolf won’t listen to me.”
“I got the Hwa-an, so I’ll be fine.
Immediately check Uncle and Maria, organize an evacuation group, and evacuate the entire territory to the imperial capital. can you do it?”
A territory belonging to the Harrel Family, where the fishing village of Ferrol belongs.
It was not an important location for the administration of the empire. This meant that it was never a priority area to be assigned when large-scale evacuation or protection movements at the national level began.
“I get it! Sir Duran, I will see you!”
“Watch out Marlon. I felt that you gained special powers as soon as you arrived… but not only the demons of the underworld, but also the general-level demons of the underworld under Galos are active.”
Ariel said worriedly, but Marlon was already riding in the tulcar.
