Episode 136. Disappeared things come back as swords (3)
“Arial-sama, are there many underlings of Galos? What did the traitor revealed it with resols? ”
“I don’t know why they held hands. It can only be inferred that it is an alliance formed because of a coincidence of purpose. And it’s turning the human world into a battlefield.”
“Hasn’t the owner of Haider Abyss become one with Li Sol?”
Gentleman Galos. He had a history of offering Yuma a deal the last time they met. He asked to resurrect someone with the power of a demon god.
At that time, Yuma’s authority in the underworld was close to its peak.
Yuma ignored Galos’ offer and was planning to kill or absorb him, but Haider appeared and escaped with Rakir.
It was because in the abyss of the Underworld, Haider was superior to the Demon God.
“I haven’t heard that name. It doesn’t seem like you’re officially allied with Rizol.”
“Even though they are united, they may be in a state where they cannot function in the royal family due to the curse imposed by Hwa and restrictions on intervention. Because Gallos has Heider behind him.”
There was still one question about Haider.
Through Mahatrisa, it was confirmed that he was an ancient human being and was cursed for coveting the tree of the gods, but he was never told why he used magic like Rizol.
‘When they tried to capture me in the abyss of the underworld, they obviously used the same sealing magic as Rizol. I think there must be something between the two.’
It was not an area that could be known to be worried right away.
However, Yuma recalled the memory of not being able to respond to the magic he had experienced twice in the East, the sealing magic that Risol and Haider had used on him.
‘At that time, even using authority, I couldn’t stop it. Now that I’ve got a unique aura, I’ll have to hope it’s different.’
Yuma was completely unaware that the reason why Risol started moving so quickly was because of her own aura.
Inherent Aura is creation. Rizol had been questioning Yuma’s ability to create since the first alert.
While Yuma and Ariel were talking, Duran couldn’t hide his distraught look.
battle and war.
For him, who had followed Duran Jacques like a specter all his life, it was something he was very familiar with and even enjoyed when he met a great enemy.
Duran was a person who fit the negative expression of ‘war mania’ very well.
But the war Ariel was now describing was not at all familiar or pleasant to him.
Because it was not a war between humans.
Also, such a sudden invasion was unfamiliar to Duran, who was always in the position of a conqueror.
“Lord Duran, this war cannot be said to be only between humans.
All dragons will fight alongside humans. As soon as your stamina returns a little, we will take you to the Empire, so please be patient.”
“Looks like I’m old. Suddenly, I wonder if this invasion of demons is the karma of the empire, Miss Ariel. To hear that no matter how great Rysol is, small countries are being absorbed so quickly.”
“Even if the killings the Lord committed in the past were karma, that was something that humans and humans had to resolve.
Duran smiled bitterly and nodded. The old strongest man, who had lived his whole life for the safety and prosperity of the empire, had a face full of remorse.
“Listening to Miss Ariel’s story, the dark news doesn’t seem to end there. Haven’t any of the empire’s lands already been taken over by them?”
“When I came here, I heard that no land had been captured yet. But… there were traitors.”
“betrayer…? Are you saying that among the members of the Empire, there are those who are on the side of Risol?”
“Unfortunately, sir Duran.”
“They’re the ones you have to tear down first. For some reason, it seems that the Cannons and the fallen Rollmandi were joined.”
“Those two families did not betray. The Povianga, a family of wizards, has attached itself to Rizol.”
Povianga betrayed.
Duran and Yuma Zeka heard the completely unexpected name and were shocked once again.
“It’s Phobian! What the hell is that!”
Pobianga was one of the families that made the most contributions in the Dragon Horse War before returning. A great aristocratic family who contributed to the defense of the empire as the third person after Jacques and Rollmandy.
Such Phovian abandoned the empire this time and joined the enemy’s side.
“It seems that there has been an infighting within Pobianga since the return of Barinann Povian after the exam. Not all of them betrayed, and about 30% of those led by Barinann remained in the Empire.”
“Then the one who left must be the forces of the Adolphobian family…
According to principle, the remaining 30% should have been branded as a ‘rebel family’ and annihilated.
However, considering the timing and the relationship between Val Linan Phobian and the Balaur, Hella did not punish the remaining ones. I really didn’t want to punish them either.
Fortunately, as usual, no aristocrats claiming originality and claiming to annihilate the Povian family did not appear.
“Adolphobian was a pretty bold human being. He even left a message before escaping, saying, ‘What we revere more is magic.’”
“Huh, the more you go, the more Taesan is. Those mad wizards…
The idea that only the desire for magic was the most important thing in the world was peculiar to wizards.
And among the magicians, Povian was a group of humans with the highest aspirations.
‘Even Aidan Povian was corrupted because of that aspiration. But I never thought that even Adolfo Vien would… I lost one of the three families at the same time as the war began.’
It was like losing an arm.
Although Pobianga did not show anything distinct while Yuma returned and was active, their potential during the Dragon Horse War was remarkable.
It’s not just the three families of the great aristocrat Kyle.
‘Of course, there are 30 percent left to follow Barlinan, but most of the highest-level wizards in the family must have followed Adol.’
He had no choice but to hope that the infinite magical power and magic of the dragons that Barinan had obtained would make up for the firepower of Povianga, who had betrayed him.
No matter where you looked, everything was going in a favorable direction for Risol, Galos, and the Demons of the Underworld.
The empire is being isolated at an alarming rate, and the forces of the enemy will still have many undiscovered areas.
Even if it’s not lysol.
Just as Duran regards himself as karma, it
can also be seen in the blood of ‘revenge of the trampled’ left at the site of Asuka’s assassination.
Few countries will stand on the side of the empire that has ruled the entire West by force. Even the few remaining countries would not have the power to be of great help.
A truly hopeless situation. The Empire faced the greatest crisis since its founding, and the collapse of the Empire meant that the human world would fall into the hands of its enemies.
Even so, Yuma remembered the words of possibility and hope.
It was because the phrase ‘the greatest crisis since the founding of the country’ did not apply to Yuma. The ‘greatest crisis’ he remembers was not at all like this.
‘No matter how unfavorably the current charter is tightened. It’s an overwhelmingly better situation compared to the dragon horse war before the return.’
During the Dragon Horse War, no one helped humans.
Although the dragons were together, most of the dragons regarded humans as burdens rather than comrades, and mankind was caught up in a war without any preparation and was almost destroyed.
Even at that time, mankind had no information about the lower world demons or other transcendental beings.
On the other hand, what about now? The Empire
concluded a
‘proper alliance’ with the Balaur and until recently had thoroughly prepared for the war against the Underworld.
A magic bombardment amplifier and a wide range of protective shields were developed, and many strong people were aware of the war with the demons.
The ogre slayer was alive, the East and the West were ready to fight together, and even prepared countermeasures against black magic. And even rough information about enemy power.
At the center is Yuma. Once an unfortunate eunuch, the only one of the three beings outside the realm of time reversals to stand on the side of humanity.
“Master, I am here. If you go back and untie the knots one by one, you will see the way.”
“Yeah… But I am reassured that you are here. I wonder if those attached to Risol would have made that choice had they known that an eighth grandmaster had appeared in the Empire.”
“Yes Master… the eighth grandmaster?”
When Yuma asked back, Duran smiled lightly.
“I’m more amazed that you didn’t know. Since returning from Cobble Freedom, you’ve already reached the ranks of superhumans.
You mean you didn’t know about it even though you were using a rigid body?”
“Oh, that.”
“It is the youngest in history. Behind you are the spear god Sugar, me and Hugo. It’s not a good time, so we can’t hold a celebration or something like that.”
[Master! Congrats!]
Rakir, who was suddenly quiet, flapped his wings and screamed.
I never thought I would be recognized as a grandmaster at a moment like this. For an instant, it felt like my mind went blank.
Being a grandmaster was a dream and an end for ‘Yuma as a soldier’, so it was only natural. But it didn’t make any sense at all.
‘I’m the grandmaster?’
There was only one reason why I didn’t feel it.
It was because Yuma believed that his current inaction did not reach the realm of a grand master he had always thought of.
Literally the end, a state where you can no longer climb.
This is the level of grand master that Yuma assumed, but he still believes that he is in the stage of growth, so he cannot realize it.
“And I believe you have a ‘first’ too.”
“You mean first..?”
“The place where you and I are standing right now is the top of the mountain. yes?”
Yuma couldn’t help but wait for Duran’s next words.
“It meant that I believed that you would be the first drone to reach the sky above the top of the unexplored realm.”
Even though the story came out, I couldn’t keep a blank face.
Duran Jacques, not anyone else, evaluates it that way, but it is a story that should not be lost only in humility.
“When I reach that place, Master must be by my side. certainly.”
“After this guy said something nice, why are you saying something unlucky all of a sudden? You speak as if this master would die in it.”
Duran laughed as he lightly squeezed Yuma’s head.
Yuma remembered Halun and Vargas and vowed to kill them with his own hands this time.
