Depression (1)
The army of Hell was divided into two in the city that could be said to be the center of Kashan.
Natasha and Zeta are in command of the 40 million troops heading to the central continent where the crusade is located.
And the remaining 10 million followed Balkan’s instructions and charged towards the capital of Kashan.
A grand party was held at Aganos, Kashan’s imperial castle, ahead of a war where the fate of the empire depended.
All of Kashan’s finest nobles gathered in the grand hall where the exciting performances of musicians could be heard.
‘What could they do in such a situation? Their expressions were all dark, and their hearts became even heavier as they heard the sad news coming in through the secretary.
“Is this a human party?”
Kido swallowed his mouth as he looked at the long table with so many delicacies on it that it was hard to find a place to place his eyes.
“Where should we start?”
I chewed and swallowed anything I could eat, so I didn’t have a favorite food.
The nobles frowned as he walked from end to end of the table and stuffed the food.
“What is that goblin?”
“They say it’s the Empress’s pet.”
“Pets? “But you’re wearing a weapon?”
Kido’s spear was extremely obtrusive because calling up weapons was strictly prohibited except for the Royal Guard.
“Oops!”
As he burped profusely, noble women covered their noses and scattered in all directions.
“Even if I die, I have to eat and die.”
Even for Kido, today’s banquet was definitely unusual.
I’m not interested in politics, but according to rumors, Kashan will be destroyed within the next seven days.
‘Is it like the Last Supper?’
After following Uorin into the imperial castle, I saw with my own eyes how much the empress of the empire had.
Since all of that was in a position to go to waste, it was natural for me to lose my mind.
“The Empress is entering!” At the shout of the Royal Guard, all the nobles stopped what they were doing and turned toward the door.
The door slowly opened and Wu Orin, wearing a black dress, came in with a bright expression.
Her face, adorned with diamonds and pearls, was so beautiful that the nobles were delirious.
“Wow?…”
Even Kido, a goblin with a lower sense of aesthetics than a human, couldn’t think of anything at this moment.
‘ beautiful.’
It was the first time I was captivated by the shape of a living thing.
“Good night, everyone.”
Everyone paid attention to Wuorin’s words.
“You’re probably curious. “That’s why we’re throwing a big party now that the war is in full swing.”
Kido looked at Gando next to Wuorin, but his thoughts could not be read through his expression.
“To put it bluntly, the war situation is not good. And maybe… we might lose the war.”
It felt like what I ate was weighing on me.
“But don’t worry.”
Wuorin smiled beautifully.
“Kashan will never fall. “I will do everything I can to protect the empire and continue its strong history forever
.”
I had faith in it because it was the name of Teraze, which had not had a single failure since Kashan was established.
“Enjoy it. Enjoy! “We are showing the world that we are not afraid.”
The nobles shouted in unison.
“Long live your Majesty the Empress! Long live your Majesty the Empress!”
The musicians quickly resumed playing, and Wuorin approached each nobleman, making eye contact with them one by one.
“how is it? “Is the party fun?”
“…What on earth are you thinking?”
Instilling motivation is important,
but in Kido’s opinion, this war was simply unreasonable.
“well. “What do you think you’re thinking?”
Kido frowned as he remembered the only way to avoid destroying Kashan.
“No way, you…
Wuorin held out his hand.
“Shall we dance?”
Kido, who was looking at the small and cute hand, turned his head and snorted.
“What is the red goblin dancing like…
“Come here.”
The nobles looked surprised as Uorin forcibly entered the ballroom by pulling Kido’s wrist.
“Are you sure you want to dance with your pet?”
The only people who knew Kido’s identity were Gando and Pungjang.
It seemed like the Empress had gone crazy, but no matter who the opponent was, they could not tarnish Wuorin’s beauty.
“I don’t know how to do it.”
Uorin led the way with a smile on Kido’s face.
“easy. “Just follow me and turn around like this.”
Kido, who was concentrating on dancing for a moment, secretly raised his gaze and examined Uorin.
“Are you afraid of dying?” Wuorin smiled sadly.
“When the armies of Hell take over Kashan, Havitz will be the first to find me.”
Even Uorin, who was Theraje’s bloodline, could not imagine what kind of disaster he would bring.
“I can accept it even if death is the end of my long life. But there is still a reason to live.”
“Sirone?”
Wuorin did not answer this time either.
“I don’t mean to give Kashan away for free. We’ll have to negotiate. Even if it is Theraze’s downfall, Kashan will not disappear.”
“You can fight.”
Kido found himself feeling sad.
“I will protect you. “No one will touch you, so don’t be afraid and just fight.”
Wuorin shook his head.
“You can’t win. It can’t be anything other than Shirone. But Sirone will not fight for Kashan.”
‘It can’t be anything other than Sirone.’
As I savored Wuorin’s words, my heart ached.
Tormia Kingdom Magic Association.
Association President Lupist put down the document that had arrived urgently on his desk and massaged his temples.
‘The Holy War will not be stopped.’ It was news that the army of Hell had suddenly taken a detour and was coming down towards the central continent.
‘It’s impossible to penetrate Tormia.’ While I was thinking that, I heard a knock on the door outside.
“Mr. President, we have brought you a candidate for the next Chief of Staff.”
After Jane’s death, the position of Chief of Staff had been vacant, but now that war had broken out, he needed someone to assist him.
“Ask them to come in.”
The door opened and a sober-looking woman with blue hair down to her waist came in.
It was Rabbid Flu, a certified level 6 wizard.
“hello. “This is Flu, the third floor security captain.”
All information about the flu had already been confirmed through the profile.
If a person had excellent magic skills as well as good judgment, it would be no problem to appoint him as chief of staff.
However, there is one thing that needs to be pointed out
.
“You must have heard that Gaold is active, right?”
“Yes, I heard.”
The point was that she was once part of the Gaold Guard that fought against Heaven alongside the Gaold.
“The Association and Zion, what comes first for you?”
Fleur was lost in thought for a moment.
Even though such an attitude would have been detrimental to her rapid promotion, she had no hesitation.
“I still respect Mr. Gaold.”
Lupist’s expression did not change.
“But as always, what is important to me is the well-being of the Kingdom of Tormia. “There is no room for personal feelings.”
‘It looks similar.’
Lupist first thought of Jane, who had passed away.
If possible, he wanted to keep the position of chief secretary vacant while he served as president of the association.
‘There is no woman as capable as you.’ It was a name I missed even more in a situation where the world was heading toward destruction
.
“How about sleeping?”
Flu blinked for a moment at the unexpected question, then raised his glasses and said.
“Well, I haven’t heard anything particularly bad about it.”
Lupist chuckled.
‘Yes, anyway, we
are all… accessories of the kingdom.
“Follow me. “I have somewhere to go.”
Since the sun had already set, Fleur asked with a puzzled expression.
“Where are you going?”
Lufist spoke briefly.
“flower garden.”
Earth Temple.
“Are you okay?”
Taeseong was unable to come to his senses for a while due to Gaold’s shock wave from the south.
Taeseong is the incarnation of the star.
Receiving a force that exceeded the durability of the planet was like being hit directly by magic.
“it’s okay.”
Taeseong raised his hand and calmed the stars.
“Currently, Southern relies on a team of just three people led by Gaold. As you can see, the power of apostasy is great, but they cannot block all areas by themselves.” The screen ahead changed, showing Habitz’s army again.
“Gaia’s ability can monitor most things that happen on the planet. This will definitely help in war. But before that, there’s something I need to make clear.”
Taeseong finally got to the point.
“Do you agree with erasing the existence of demons from this world?” There was no immediate answer.
“Demons are beings created by human emotions.”
Amanta, the Great Star of the Balance Department, said.
“It means that there is no reason to differentiate between humans and demons. To put it in a slightly different way, getting rid of demons is the same as getting rid of humans.” Minerva said.
“But if we leave it like this, demons will take over the world. The first thing we need to think about is the war against demons. Mobilizing all the capabilities of the ivory tower…
“Kkeke, bullshit.”
Minerva turned her head at the loud voice.
A man wearing golden armor was sitting with his arms crossed.
It was Odaesung Sigmund Fried of the System Inspection Department.
As befits the man nicknamed the King of Greed, the armor he wears is the world’s only Shinjang armor set.
It was a state-of-the-art equipment in the magical world that demonstrated anti-magic power of a whopping 65 percent.
“dog sound?”
Death bloomed in Minerva’s eyes.
“That’s right. No matter how evil Habitz is, can he compare to Minerva in her prime?”
This was the most painful part of Minerva.
“What does the little guy say he knows about me? do you want to die?”
“I know one thing for sure. “The reason you stick to Yahweh and shake your ass
.”
Freed pointed at Sirone and sneered.
“Because only that brat can save you. You want to be forgiven, right? So what did you get in return? huh? You tell me, baby. “Are you as hot as the rumors say?”
As Minerva grabbed the jet, Sirone sighed softly.
“ha.”
He slowly raised his head and let out a sigh.
“it’s annoying.”
With just that one word, there was a coldness that could freeze other stars.
‘The author is Oh Dae-seong of the Integrated Space Management Department.’ I heard that he had ascended to the level of Yahweh, but it was a little different from what I imagined.
‘What is this uneasy feeling?’
My lower stomach was pounding like a bomb ready to explode at any moment.
However, like Odaesung, Freed did not waver.
“Kkeke, the symbol of fraternity has a rough mouth. What do you do when you get annoyed? Even if we have a fight here…
Before he could finish speaking, Shirone stood up and threw the photon cannon.
“Hmph!”
Freed kicked the floor and retreated, but was quickly caught up by teleportation.
‘Are you really going to try it?’
Among the Ivory Tower stars, Freed was the only one who could wield both sword and magic, but he was too fast to react.
‘Okay, let’s see…!’
As the effect of the Shinjang’s armor set took effect, the photon cannon evaded a considerable distance.
‘This is how it happens!’
At the same time, Shiro arrived at close range and cast Photon Cannon again.
Freed’s eyes widened as the sphere of light vibrated through 65 percent of the anti-magic.
‘how?’
It is unavoidable at this distance.
As soon as the thought ended, the photon cannon landed squarely in Freed’s abdomen.
“Ugh!”
The moment I felt the pain as if my abdominal muscles were being torn, the shock disappeared like a lie.
“uh?”
Freed looked around and saw that all the stars were doing the same thing.
‘Time bounced.’ Shirone was just glaring at Freed from his original position as if nothing had happened.
