Strike of Destruction (3)
Iruki pointed to the map.
“The cliff of the abyss.”
It was a 160-kilometer-long valley that ran along the border between Tormia and Khazra.
“It’s easy to think of it as a place where the risk of an ambush lurks, but the Balkans will come here.”
Geographically, it was nothing more than a valley, but the abyss cliff
was a huge landform over 17 kilometers wide.
“Above all, passing through here is the shortest way to get to Tormia. “We have also lost half of our power on the Canian Plateau.”
The damage was incurred in just one day of battle.
‘And Amy…
Iruki erased his thoughts and continued.
“But the damage is so great that it can hit a vital point. “It would be unthinkable to set up a trap in such a huge terrain with insufficient Valkyrie forces.”
“In reality, it doesn’t exist.”
Iruki nodded.
“yes. There are no traps. “There is just an elemental bomb that can blow up the entire valley.”
“Whoa.”
Because it was a key strategy that could end the war, the tension among commanders reached its peak.
“We will stop it here.”
The place the baton pointed to was the center of a valley 70 kilometers away from Tormia.
“The power of the elemental bomb is beyond imagination. “The terrain will offset the impact, but our troops and nearby cities will not be spared damage.”
said the commander.
“This is an opportunity that came after many sacrifices. There is no choice not to do it. All we can do is detonate it at a point where the expected amount of damage is minimal.”
Iruki remained silent.
“Commander General.”
“yes. I have no intention of taking care of my conscience alone. The operation proceeds as planned. The day of the decisive battle has arrived. There cannot be any mistakes.”
When he finished his speech decisively, the commanders left the conference room looking relieved.
Aromi approached Iruki.
“Are you having a hard time making decisions?”
Since I was not a person who did not know the weight of the military, the sight of him shaking was particularly unsettling.
“no. “It’s not like that.”
“Then… is it because of Major Amy?”
I couldn’t deny it.
‘The body could not be recovered.’
If the conclusion had been made more clearly, I would not have suffered from such a deep illness.
‘If he survived, there is no way he wouldn’t return to his unit. Was he eventually captured by the demons?’
It was like dropping a bomb on her head with the entire army of hell coming down.
“Commander General, I am embarrassed to say this, but…
Aromi said hesitantly.
“If Major Amy is alive and has been taken prisoner by demons, it would actually be more helpful for her to kill her.” Iruki also agreed because he knew how cruel the demons were.
“The reason Balkan didn’t realize Gitaruman’s variables was…
Iruki finally revealed his secret.
“It was because the scope of the accident was different from mine. Even though you can read the flow of the crowd, you cannot read the flow outside the crowd. Because you can’t worry about the unthinkable.”
“Yes. But why did you suddenly say something like that…
“That’s how I am now.”
The thought that I was missing something never left me.
“If Amy is captured, something terrible will happen and Balkan will take advantage of that. “There is no better way to destroy my reason than that.”
“Hmm.”
“But there is no response. “Maybe Amy wasn’t captured by the demons.”
Aromi wanted to give hope, but now was the time when cool-headed judgment was all that was needed.
“Commander General, it’s too late to just make inferences like that…
“I know.”
Iruki also knew.
“Even if Amy was caught, there are hundreds of reasons not to announce it. It might be a paving stone for Sirone Yahweh. Therefore, it may be at the level of delusion… but
the psychology of hoping for the safety of a precious friend may have changed the thinking circuit.
“Noise keeps coming. “I don’t think it’s clear based on either experience or logic.”
Aromi realized that Iruki was in a cold state.
“It means that something may be happening outside of your thoughts.”
“yes.”
Iruki looked back at the valley of the abyss.
“Just like in the case of Guitaru Man, it may determine the success or failure of this strategy.”
Where on earth is Amy
?
* * ?
“Whew. Phew.”
Amy’s heavy breathing echoed through the cabin built in the mountains of the central continent.
His hair was short, and his burnt body was covered in bandages.
It was fortunate that the heat did not penetrate deep into the skin, and the scabs would soon peel off.
“There is no sign of him waking up.” Shura said, looking at Amy lying on the bed.
“The body has recovered, but the worst part is the mind. “It is a fundamentally different problem from samadhi.”
Samadhi is based on the great universe’s providence, but Amy’s multi-day path was completely artificial.
“It’s like digging into the ground and closing the exit. “You won’t be able to get out on your own.”
Nane said, biting her index finger.
“Take off the bandage.”
“What are you going to do?”
“She is currently closing her eyes, plugging her ears, and blocking out all senses. “Human communication skills will not be able to pull her out of the abyss.” When Shura removed the bandage on her abdomen, new flesh sprouted, revealing colorful skin.
Nane, who had written a circle of blood around her navel, sat cross-legged.
“Stay as far away as possible. “It won’t be something worth holding on to.”
In order to bring Amy back, a sermon as strong as giving enlightenment to a rock was needed.
“Do not work too hard.”
As Shura left the hut, Nane smiled kindly and gently lowered her eyelids.
The lips gently open.
“Mahavanya…
As the sermon with its unique rhythm continued endlessly, the mountains, rivers and trees began to tremble.
“Ugh!”
Shura, rushing into the forest, covered his ears.
‘It’s not a sound.’
Nane’s voice, piercing my thoughts, echoed in my head without passing through my eardrums.
“Sexual space, empty space, empty space…
Inside the hut where the sermon was sounding, Amy’s body became hot as if it were on fire.
“ha. ha.”
Even though she was unconscious, a thin sound came out of her throat as she was breathing heavily.
“Sirone.”
The Earth Temple of the Ivory Tower.
Sirone finished the story with all the five great stars who had received Tae-seong’s call gathered together.
“Argonesra.”
It was shocking content.
“So what do you mean, whether I win or Havitz wins, the world will end?”
Freed spoke with an unpleasant expression on his face.
“Even if you look down on the ivory tower, do you know how to keep quiet while you do that?”
Silence followed.
“Hey, what’s wrong with everyone? “You’re not scared, are you?”
Minerva said.
“It’s not a problem whether you fight or sleep. This is a situation where the fundamental system is triggered. The best thing is to end it without getting into that situation. To that end, she turned to Shirone.
“Sirone has no choice but to establish an integrated mental system first before I realize it.”
There was no disagreement.
In the same sense, none of the stars in the Ivory Tower told Sirone anything.
‘Amy is gone.’
If even Taeseong cannot be found, then a specific person or force equivalent to him has taken her.
‘It could be me. But it could also be Harvitz.’
It was possible for both characters.
‘I can’t reveal it now.’
Thing opened his mouth.
“Before we prepare for Sirone’s end, there is something we need to address. “There is something you don’t know.”
Minerva turned her head with a pale face.
‘Tch! ‘That stubborn one.’
Sing, who believed that everyone but himself was an illusion, did not feel the need to perjure himself.
“What do you not know?”
Thing turned his head and said.
“In the central continent…
At that time, the Earth Temple of the Ivory Tower shook.
“what?”
It may be a spire on the ground, but there was no reason for the Earth Temple floating in space to shake.
Taeseong said with a bitter expression.
“It’s finally coming.”
In the glass window reflecting the planet, I saw something burning hot due to the friction of the air.
“dragon?”
The sight of it rising vertically, emitting electricity from its blue scales, was truly amazing.
Sirone remembered the dragon’s identity.
“Brain Pterodactyl Blitz.”
It was one of the 12 dragon apostles who guard time, and was a creature encountered in Andre’s first world.
It was also one of the few first-class dragons that could leave the planet and enter outer space.
Couuuuuuuuuuck!
Blitz attached his huge body to the ceiling of the Earth Temple and bent his long neck to look inside.
“Taeseong.”
A cold voice was heard that did not go through the air but directly into everyone’s minds.
Taeseong looked at the ceiling.
“Apostle of Time, what brought you here?”
The large eyes looked around the Earth Temple and then settled on Sirone.
“Our core is looking for you.”
“If it’s a core…
it’s the Unranked Dragon Karatorsa.
“Are you saying you woke up from your eternal sleep?” The anecdote of someone leaving behind the words, “I will handle it when no one else can,” is famous.
“Something big is coming. It’s only a matter of time before the Mudeungryong wakes up. Sirone, you who have opened the sense of emptiness. follow me “Core will tell you.” Sirone came next to Taesung.
“What do I tell you?”
“How to fight.”
“Who are you fighting with?”
Blitz turned his head sharply and looked down at the northern hemisphere of the planet. Jungcheon-dong in the east was captured in his gaze.
“Heaven.”
A peak that rose through the clouds.
At the highest point in Jungcheon-dong in the east, there is a shrine built by humanity’s strongest wizard.
Guffin’s Gate.
A huge iron ball with henna engraved on the angel’s face began to vibrate high in the sky.
The iron ball fluttered like a liquid and then exploded violently, blowing away all its peaks.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa! What remained at the site of the explosion was a tunnel so large that it engulfed the entire Jungcheon-dong area.
“Is this a branch office?”
The soles of my feet suddenly popped out from the black sphere and stomped on the ground.
Couuuuuuuuck!
A small garden exploded.
“Wow, it’s so small.”
Following them, numerous giants appeared and fairies flew into the sky.
The angels and their servant Mara passed through the tunnel with an arrogant attitude, and finally the four archangels appeared.
Although they were half-pages that had lost the concept they each referred to, the world shook just with the energy they gave off.
Archangel of Destruction Yuriel revealed his thoughts.
“You’re finally here. “It took longer than expected.”
Archangel of Light Rayel said.
“It could have taken longer. Yeah, that’s strange. “It feels like the dimensional barrier was breached too easily.”
Yuriel muttered.
“maze??????
What happened to humanity’s strongest monk, who single-handedly stopped the armies of heaven?
The giants and Maras, who had been waiting for this day, could not suppress their speculation and became evil.
“let’s fight! “Let’s punish the arrogant people who deny God!”
Ichael was watching them.
‘Sirone.’
The reason I couldn’t feel the same way as them was because Hexa was here.
“Archangel! “Hurry up and give the sortie order! Give us a chance to teach the United States the dignity of God!”
Ikael gently opened his mouth.
“…Ataraxia.”
Her holy light body expanded at an incredible speed, spreading out a five-colored brilliant halo.
“Huh!”
In the midst of silence that seemed like a lie.
“It reaches the entire army.”
Only her voice was amplified and resonated.
