Episode 459
Episode 148. The war is over, but flutter flutter…!
Dozens of dragons flew into the Suhero Snowfield, which became the sea.
At the center were Mahatrisha and Kriesha. As the two great dragons aroused their magical powers, the sea where Yuma’s body was submerged began to split in two.
The bifurcated sea flowed down as thousands of layers of waterfalls. The dragons stopped in the sky and looked down with a solemn atmosphere.
After a while, the figure of Yuma, who had been submerged in the water, was revealed.
“Yuma…!”
It was Natalie, riding on Ariel’s back. His face, which had been hardened like a stone statue all the way from the imperial capital to this place, was quickly turning red.
Catherine, who was sitting next to her, was also in tears, unable to close her gaping mouth. The main members of the upper ranks, including Pouang, burst into tears.
Yuma seemed dead.
Although they were submerged in water for several days, the god’s blood was not washed away by the sea water. Still, Yuma closed her eyes with her bloodied body.
It was the same as it was when the battle with Sekmeira ended.
Seeing the motionless Yuma, the relatives who came with the dragons were ready to jump down at any moment.
[Not dead.]
Mahatrisha opened her mouth.
[Yuma is not dead. Everyone, stop crying and wait a moment.]
Fluttering…
Mahatrisha began to descend into the bisected sea. The water splashed from the waterfall wet her wings.
Upon landing on the ground, Mahatrisha transformed into a human and knelt beside Yuma.
[You’ve had a hard time.]
Mahatrisha blew into the palm of her hand once.
sparkle. The breath that escaped her body shimmered in her palms. Soon, the brilliance forming the breath continued to shine as bright as the sun.
It was blinding. The humans riding on the backs of the dragons covered their eyes with their hands, and the dragons could not control their sorrow and trembled.
It was no different that the dragons were sad.
It was because what Mahatrisha had placed in her palm was her own life force.
[Everyone, don’t be sad. I’m not going to die.]
The dragons couldn’t answer.
[Anyway, it is meaningless to look at the remaining time now. I am grateful that the years I have accumulated can save this child.]
Yuma has not been able to recover from the damage sustained in the week-long fight. Although he obtained the authority of both the underworld and the underworld, his physical body collapsed due to his success in life longer than expected.
Not only did he have a long career, but his fight with Sekmeira was too intense. It was a battle so transcendent that no similar case could be found in human battles.
When he was just wielding Amula, he couldn’t recognize it because it was so overwhelming, but the battle between the two gods completely changed the map of the world.
Not only the Suher snowfields, but the entire western northern snowfields were submerged in the sea, and even the climate in the nearby areas changed.
It was fortunate, if at all, that humans disappeared from northern Suher shortly after the start of the New World War.
Most of the people who lived in this area were killed by demons and monsters from the underworld or fled to the mainland of the empire.
Surprisingly, there were no casualties in the aftermath of the fighting. However, dozens of species of animals and plants completely disappeared from human life, and nature was destroyed on a level unprecedented in history.
The sea covers the broken land.
Ironically, however, Mahatri Shah was recalling the primordial landscape while looking at this broken land.
I mean the scenery of the world that was completely one before the tree of God was damaged.
[My child, your eyelids will lighten soon.]
The blood flowing from Yuma’s body soaked Mahatrisa’s hair.
Black blood mixed with purple blood dripped to the ground.
Whoa.
The breath from Mahatrisa’s hand gently flowed into Yuma’s mouth.
After a while, Yuma began to respond to her breath by flicking her fingers. The blood that had soaked the floor and Mahatrisha’s hair was dissolving into fine particles.
And Yuma opened her eyes.
Slowly raising her upper body, Yuma immediately made eye contact with Mahatrisha, who was looking at her calmly.
didn’t explain anything.
Yuma immediately realized how things were going. It means that she saved herself by sacrificing the power and life force of the Dragon Lord.
“Lord…
[Don’t say anything.]
As Yuma woke up, the other dragons descended slowly to the ground. Natalie, Catherine, Pouang, and the company’s staff ran to Yuma’s side.
From them, Yuma could hear that the war was over.
* * * The New World War, caused by the union of Hagye and Rizol, is over. It ended when Yuma defeated Sekmeira.
When the Demon God fell, the demons and monsters of the underworld that were stirring the crowd stopped moving all at once.
Countless beings from the underworld bowed their heads in an instant.
The knights who were struggling in various parts of the empire dropped their heads, and as the war began, the isolated empire was finally able to advance.
It took an instant to subdue the small countries attached to Rizol.
No, there was no need to suppress it. They immediately raised the white flag as the beings of the underworld that had been protecting them collapsed.
It was because not only the underworld, but also the archmage, Rysol, no longer protected them.
The royal authority maintained by the power of the demon tribe quickly collapsed, and among the generals of the small country who seized the opportunity, there were not a few who surrendered with the head of the king.
End of war.
The New World War is over.
Many people in the world believed that. It is said that Yuma single-handedly defeated the Demon God of the Underworld, and the Western Continent finally regained peace.
There are no demons anymore.
Instead, there were dragons left to help the West recover and develop, and humans no longer waged war. Neither the empire nor the countries that had been part of the New World Union until recently couldn’t afford it.
Two months passed like that.
It’s only been two months, but now the good people are realizing it.
“Whoops,” that peace never came.
Upper meeting room.
Yuma blew smoke from his pipe with a tired face. Natalie Malone Zeka Catherine Cindy Poin et al. Everyone was in a similar mood.
“Yuma-sama’s dragons continue to carry goods from the East… but
at this rate, we can’t take care of all the expected migrants.”
“Puang-nim, are the announcements continuing that the situation in the West is the same as in the East?”
“Your dragons are making their own announcements, but they are out of control.”
“Yes, it is actually impossible to control human fear.
It’s frustrating.”
People from the East were constantly migrating to the West.
It was closer to evacuation for survival than migration. The number of refugees flooding in through the trade route created by Yuma and the Balaur was already getting out of control.
The reason they were leaving the east was no different.
The Void began to color the lands of the East.
When Yuma visited through the dimensional gate not too long ago, the east was showing a more peaceful appearance than the west, but it was the east, not the west, where the emptiness rose first.
The Second Coming of Hwa is beginning.
“The Kingdom of Guhelga and Haseo also had more than 10% of their territory stained with emptiness. Evacuation continues not only in the East, but also in the West. Citizens of the East are constantly migrating to the West, but the situation in the West is not very different either.
So far, the mainland of the Empire has not been tainted by the Void, but Hwa’s second coming is clearly encroaching on the West as well.
The war is over, but neither peace nor safe land is left to the public.
Slowly, so to speak.
The world was perishing.
“…The Balaur are still tracking Rizol’s location. They say it is estimated to be near the pole at the southernmost point of the continent, but I think there will be a definite answer sooner or later.”
said Natalie with a sigh.
“We have to make him face Haider somehow.”
You need a real God Tree to fight the Void.
Even though he had absorbed the powers of the underworld, Yuma was keenly aware of that fact more than anyone else.
‘But even if Haider regains his name and can use the power of the real God Tree… can he really stop the Void?’
Yuma thought.
Over the past two months, Yuma and Maha Trisha have been roaming the void-stained regions, testing their powers.
As expected by Mahatrisha and Yuma, even with the powers of death and reincarnation, it was impossible to stop the Void.
That’s why I keep questioning it. I wonder if Hwah can be stopped just because Haider, who has the real God’s Tree, fights with him.
nevertheless.
Now that was my last hope. He had to defeat Risol as soon as possible and regain Haider’s name.
“Yuma’s eastern migrants are none of your concerns. The Emperor of Lhasa and His Majesty are constantly checking the migration status, so I only think of you.”
It was Catherine. She was recently searching for the wizards of Fovian who had betrayed the Empire with Natalie Ballinan.
Povian.
The New World War was over, but it was clear they were still with Rizol. In the process of dealing with the dead of the enemy and allies, not a single body of Povian has been reported yet.
Also, the gentleman Galos was also missing. There was a high probability that the demon king was also preparing to migrate with Risol.
‘No, Galos is most likely murdered under the circumstances. As long as he can be the link between me and Heider, there is no reason to keep him alive from Resol’s point of view.’
Yuma shook her head and thought. If Galos was still alive, he might be able to talk to Heider through him.
“Commander Hugo?”
“The boss said he had a seizure yesterday too. He seems to come back to his senses from time to time, but it’s definitely getting better little by little.”
“Yongan runaway said you don’t have to worry anymore. However, when there is a battle with Risol in the future… it is unknown whether Captain Hugo will be able to protect the people.”
Marlon and Zecca answered. Even though the implantation of the lower world dimension into Inse had stopped, Hugo had not yet awakened.
Fortunately, the situation is gradually improving. Seizures were always suppressed by Duran, so Duran could not leave Zishka’s side.
“I trust Captain Hugo. I will definitely stand up and protect Mio.”
Sooner or later, if he fully grasps Rizol’s location and Yuma battles him.
Inse had no choice but to take more damage than when he fought Sekmeira. Yuma instinctively sensed that Risol was stronger than Sekmeira, who had no restrictions on intervention.
At least, since Resol is located near the pole, there was a high probability that there would be no casualties or significant damage.
The extent of the damage could not be predicted. So the empire was preparing a plan to protect the continent from the shock waves when the battle between Yuma and Risol began.
