Chapter 340 Graxar (4)
Podeuk.
stepped on the snow
It felt different than usual.
The moment my foot entered, something cold and frozen prevented it from digging into it.
It was a corpse.
When I saw it from afar, I thought there was still room to step out, but it turned out that the body parts protruding above the eyes were just a part of the piled up corpses.
As they entered the territory of the elves, Gyro and other soldiers showed wavering eyes.
Just by looking around, I knew that the number of corpses piled up here was not in the thousands, but in the tens of thousands.
“… What the hell happened here?”
I swallowed dry saliva.
An ominous thought came to my mind.
if.
If Roman Dmitry’s army had been defeated after a fierce battle, their corpses might lie piled up under the snow.
Gyro moved forward, examining the corpses one by one.
At first, I was overwhelmed by the number, but at some point, I started to check whether the corpse was a human or an orc.
however.
It was strange.
No human corpse was seen.
The protruding arms and legs showed the characteristic skin color of orcs, and the head rolling on the floor, covered over the snow, revealed a snub nose.
I got goosebumps.
When hundreds of orcs were confirmed in his field of vision, only one human corpse was visible.
“no way.”
sure
at this spot.
Roman Dmitri’s army slaughtered the orcs.
In the one-sided match, the orcs collapsed screaming, and the current scene unfolded as snow fell on the corpses piled up one by one.
My hands trembled. I don’t know how many thoughts I put into it as I moved through the blizzard.
He thought that if Luna Kingdom were to be destroyed because of him, he would not be able to apologize to the people of Luna just by killing a few Orcs and dying.
My stomach went black.
I regretted it countless times.
One’s stupidity, one’s rashness, and one’s own incompetence.
Took.
got down on his knees
Covering his face in the flowing tears, he asked the man who came next to him.
“… Cayden. What kind of person is Roman Dmitri?”
Took.
I stopped walking.
Cayden looked down at Gyro and told him the truth about his experience.
“He is a clear-headed person. There is no hesitation in what you do, distinguishing who you are from and who you are not. Since Luna decided to become a vassal of Dmitri, she was able to receive help from him as a person, and she succeeded in recapturing Luna’s fortress, which had been captured, with only 30 people.”
I still couldn’t believe it.
It was a miracle.
Luna met a miracle.
“That kind of person is the person we will serve in the future.”
Gyro lowered his head.
I was happy.
The fact that there was still hope for Luna made me feel like my breath was freed, which seemed to be blocked.
“thank you. Thank you very much.”
offered a prayer of thanks.
put your hands together
Gyro looked at the snowfield strewn with corpses for a long time and expressed his gratitude countless times.
he’s no more
I didn’t look up at the sky.
Roman Dmitri was the only person to express his gratitude to him.

When the war ended.
Roman Dmitry and his men were drenched in blood.
The rebellion of the cornered orcs was fierce, but there was no way for them to survive after losing their commander.
“chris.”
“yes.”
“Find out the whereabouts of the Orcs and annihilate all the other Orcs. This war should not leave behind regrets. Just as the people of Arcadia curse the orcs, we will remain demons to the families of the orcs.”
“… All right.”
It was a cruel order.
but.
It was also something I had to do.
I didn’t consider the slightest mercy.
Graxar waged war to resolve the orcs’ plight, but killed too many creatures in the process.
Some were completely extinct, and the people of Luna Kingdom had seizures whenever they thought of the terrible sight of their families being eaten.
That was the reality of war.
Graxar may have been a leader to the orcs who would save their race, but to those who stood on their side, he was a cruel demon.
If the loser accepts responsibility by death.
The winner should not just rejoice, but need to prepare for the situation by getting rid of the buds of regret.
Even if
Even if it kills powerless beings.
It was better than having them grow up and threaten their own people.
It was then.
A group of beings approached Roman Dmitri.
“Greetings to the benefactor Tersha of the Elf clan.”
“Greetings to my benefactor.”
White skin and pointed ears.
They were elves.
The blonde haired handsome man who identified himself as Teresa respectfully bowed his head and was polite towards his benefactor.
“If it wasn’t for the benefactor’s help, all the elves would have died. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
“They just matched their goals. As soon as the situation in Luna Kingdom is sorted out, we will send someone to invite the elves. Order in Arcadia is very chaotic because of the orcs. We need to invite the representatives of each race to discuss how to sort out this situation.”
“All right. We will also attend the event. By the way, could you please give me a minute?”
Roman Dmitry also set an example.
Unlike Luna.
The elf did not belong to Dmitri.
When Roman Dmitri looked at her with eyes asking what the reason was, Teresa carefully explained her purpose.
“In fact, when the orcs first started the war. Borrowing the wisdom of the World Tree, we have identified some of the future that will happen. In a situation where many different races were dying, a human appeared and witnessed the slaughter of the orcs. So we kept the area of the World Tree until the end. We were confident that the man of prophecy would appear and help us. the problem is… It happened right after that. The power that Graxar used. It is a very dangerous force that shakes the foundations of the world. To tell you about this, Mother Elf is hoping to meet you separately.”
demon power.
Mother Elf.
It was necessary information.
Roman Dmitri drew his sword and looked at Tersha.
“All right. There are things I want to check right now.”
* * *
Elves don’t usually age.
Until the moment she dies, she maintains her appearance in her early twenties, but Mother Elf has an unusually old appearance.
and.
It gave off a special, unusual atmosphere.
With calm and gentle eyes, she talked about the situation facing Roman Dmitri.
“Do you know about the Demon Realm?”
“I remember reading it in a book. celestial realm terrestrial realm. I heard that it is a world inhabited by demons as one of the three dimensions that make up the world.”
“you’re right. The demon realm is a world where demons live. According to the law of the main god, the heavenly world and the demonic world are thoroughly separated so that they cannot interfere with each other. However, an incident occurred that created a crack in the space that had been separated long ago. Through a finely created dimensional rift, an entity that disrupts the balance of the world has fallen on the Salamander continent. Due to its existence, the crack could not be closed and the chill from the dimensional crack froze the continent of Arcadia.”
It was a familiar story.
missing dimension.
I meant Alexander.
From the moment he fell on the Salamander continent, who should have lived in Moorim, a disaster that people do not know about began.
“A long time has passed since then. Its presence has widened the rift between dimensions, and now the walls that separate them are very weak. The result is the power that Graxar wielded. It is normal that the power of the Pandemonium, which represents purple, is not manifested on the ground, but Graxar accepted the power of the Pandemonium and turned into a demon. What do you think that means?”
When I first saw the future
Mother Elf was shocked.
It was just one change, but the fact that such a precedent existed was a precursor to disaster on the surface world.
“Demons from the underworld are targeting the surface world. Right now, they still have enough influence to assimilate the power of the demon world, but it is clear that they will exert more influence as time goes on. Roman Dmitry. A being that upsets the balance of the world. We have to deal with the missing child of the dimension as soon as possible. As long as he exists, one day the dimensional wall will collapse and demons from the underworld will invade the surface world. Graxar’s unleashed power is only part of them. The king of the Demon Realm is a being who has entered the ranks of gods, and there are countless limbs like Graxar under him. Due to the law of the main god, they cannot express their full power in the earthly world now. The moment the perfect descent takes place, then there is no way to stop the demonic invasion.”
Behind Kronos.
It was the truth.
Just as Graxar accepted the demon’s power, Alexander joined hands with the Demon World for his own greed.
My brain was cleared.
I got it.
Alexander.
purple space.
And what Kronos is aiming for after declaring a truce even abandoning his pride.
‘Perhaps they are waiting for the moment when the dimensional wall weakens. If, as the Mother Elf said, Graxar was nothing more than an limb following the King of the Underworld. They cannot be stopped by human power. The reason why Alexander is so sure of his victory is probably because the premise is not an area to be discussed at the human level in the first place.’
suddenly.
I had a question.
If Alexandre is the one who instigates the rift in the dimension.
Roman Dmitry himself.
what kind of existence
Just as Kim Pan-seok became Alexander by crossing the dimensional rift, Baek Joong-hyeok also became Roman Dmitri.
‘My existence as Roman Dmitri in this world can be either a coincidence or a necessity. What is certain is that unless I take my own life, the situation Mother Elf is worried about will inevitably happen.’
It was funny.
Kill Alexander and die yourself too?
It is impossible.
And from the very beginning, Roman Dmitri felt his heart beat as he checked the world of demons.
‘The people of Murim couldn’t even handle the state of knowledge. I never had a chance to express the realm of heaven.’
The water spilled.
If you knew the identity of your enemies.
Now it was time to think about how to defeat them.
It didn’t matter how strong the enemies were.
said Roman Dmitry.
“I won’t promise to fulfill Mother Elf’s request. but.”
Sigh.
got up from the seat
I got enough information.
“If they get in my way, I will not stand still.”
* * *
Mother Elf.
There was nothing she could do.
He was only telling the truth, and the Demon World’s plan was already in progress to the extent that it could not be stopped.
Disaster was coming.
In the meantime, if you just wanted to reign.
From now on, he learned that he had to prepare for a fight beyond the Cronus Empire and against its background.
It was a good harvest.
what you know and what you don’t know.
The difference was great.
When Alexander reappears in the world, he will surely appear with the devil on his back.
‘What matters to me is that their plans are not irrelevant to me. In order to protect Dmitri’s realm and reign as the absolute. You have to be fully prepared from now on. No matter what happens, Dmitri’s impregnable fortress won’t collapse.’
took a step
I was about to leave the elves’ realm, but Tersha approached me and said,
“Mother Elf has prepared a gift for the benefactor. We will lend you the wisdom of the World Tree. If you communicate with the world tree, you can confirm what Roman Dmitry wants. It is unknown whether it is in the distant future, in the long past, or what is happening now, but the World Tree will surely give the necessary information to Roman Dmitri, who protected the elves’ realm.”
“I heard that only Mother Elf can touch the World Tree.”
“That’s right. But Roman Dmitri, the hero of Arcadia who saved the elves, is an exception.”
It was a good opportunity.
world tree.
I just wanted to check it out.
That is how trees are called the foundation of the world.
Teresa followed.
yet.
In front of Roman Dmitri, a huge tree that filled his field of vision caught his attention.
It was great.
It was a size he had never experienced in his previous life, and his presence felt small in front of a huge tree.
However, the world tree withered and looked quite emaciated.
In the past, if it showed a color full of vitality and protected the territory of the elves, now it was barely maintaining its life.
like people say.
The world tree was dying.
A bare tree branch without a single leaf seemed to represent the future of this world.
approached the world tree.
Teresa says.
In order to sympathize with the world tree, he told me to put my hand on it and concentrate my will.
Took.
put his hand on a tree
At first, I didn’t feel anything.
I calmly waited for the right time.
Concentrating his will, he communicated the energy arising from the Danjeon with the World Tree.
That moment.
A change has happened.
A lump of fire.
The heat that started from it boiled like mad.
Hwareuk.
Rurrr rrr r r r r r r.
Exploding flames!
Powerful flames engulfed Roman Dmitri’s existence.
