#982. I caught you
. Calm Lake.
There are no human beings.
In a place where there is no sign.
A woman with her eyes closed.
The Fairy Queen slowly opened her eyes.
And after staring at the empty space with blurred eyes for a long time, he quietly opened his mouth.
“You defeated the reincarnation lord.”
deep and quiet.
She smiled.
Although she may not be a prophet, she is the first absolute being who has watched over mankind since the beginning of civilization.
It was possible to grasp just how absurd the resurrected reincarnated monarch was with the information the spirits had observed.
So she was relieved.
The reincarnated monarch who was half a Constellation.
Just killing him, who could have been the starting point for the destruction of mankind, meant that mankind had passed the hurdle.
“…There are still many hurdles to overcome.”
Nevertheless, the Fairy Queen couldn’t help but put on a bitter expression.
Because I knew.
The Reincarnated Lord is only one of the Constellations.
It was just an advance party dispatched because it was the most efficient among countless stars.
There is no end to the power of the stars.
Even if you have passed this one gobi, the fact that a more difficult ordeal is waiting for you after that.
Even the monsters that the reincarnated lord showed up with were still rampaging all over the world.
Although Dreamroid was quick to deal with those monsters, it was difficult to block them with one hand.
No matter how much the Dreamroid could imitate the running swordsmanship, the number was not enough to deal with all 666 youkai with absolute self-sufficient power.
Especially in that there are not a few Dreamroids that get damaged in repeated fierce battles.
‘It would have been nice if my powers were intact…’
Originally two pairs of wings.
However, the Fairy Queen put on a sad expression as she trembled at the one left.
These wings, which made her a fairy queen, are the essence of the fairy tribe and the source of power that has been passed down from generation to generation by successive fairy kings.
I handed over half of it.
It was to the point where it was too much for him just to assist Dreamroid like this.
However, the fairy queen quickly let go of that regret.
And he smiled quietly as he recalled the blue bird that had visited him with determined eyes.
‘If it’s her, I’m sure she’ll use these wings better than me.’
will she be okay
It wasn’t anything to worry about.
But still, the Fairy Queen believed.
Limon and Yuna-kyung will definitely destroy all the dungeons and return safely.
And he said that he would inherit his remaining wings and make the extinct fairies of harmony prosper again.
Even though I couldn’t see the sight myself…
It was okay though.
Stop the invasion of the Constellations.
If you can leave the seeds of your species behind.
Even if this uselessly long life ended, she could happily accept it.
Even for that, she closed her eyes again to protect the world and humanity until they return.
Connect to Eldrado.
commanding the spirits.
Assisting Dreamroid.
To defeat even one youkai as quickly as possible and to protect even one more human.
coogu palace.
“…!”
but right after that.
The Fairy Queen opened her eyes again.
It wasn’t just because the calm lake suddenly started shaking.
It was because of the reflection in the distorted lake, along with the red lights floating all over the bridge where she was.
As soft as it seems.
but more clearly.
The fairy queen, who looked at the starlight rising from the depths of the water with a dark face, finally sighed quietly after a long time had passed.
“…you got caught after all.”
* * *
The moment you open your hand.
What stretched out from that little fingertip was a thin, barely visible thread.
Every time your long white fingers move minutely, hundreds of thousands of threads unfold as if they were alive on their own.
The moment when countless Cheonjamsa spread out like that covered the sky.
『Seventy-two types of martial arts,
twelve dragons of the twelve seasons, seventy-two kinds of martial arts, 十二絶龍技,
heavenly meeting, soi bulu,
疏而不漏』
Quarreureung!
Cheonjamsa’s net, sharper than a guillotine with powerful psionics, shattered everything between heaven and earth.
Hundreds of monsters.
And even the youkai that ran fiercely even when they were covered in wounds.
The girl who organized the battlefield like that.
Ainsha folded her wings and landed on the ground.
And while commanding the Gwangryongdae and assisting in the fight, he asked the white-haired woman who greeted him politely with an expressionless face.
“I want to know if this is over.”
“Yes, Princess. At least, that was the last youkai confirmed by the Taoist Federation.”
“I want to know if you are sure. Youkai are cunning and persistent. If you see one, ten may be hiding.”
“It is certain that the gods have also confirmed it through an oracle.”
“That word makes me more anxious.”
Ainsha muttered dully.
As a high priest of the Holy League, she knew better than anyone else that God was not omnipotent.
However, it is true that God’s eyes cannot be ignored.
Above all, as long as the gods are directly guarding it, even if a few monsters penetrate the defense line, Jerusalem will not be in danger.
After thinking for a while, the girl opened her mouth again.
“Anyway, it’s good if there are no more youkai confirmed right now. We are now moving outside the Holy League.”
“….”
“I want to know why there is no answer from Tata.”
“Princess, let me be honest with you. Are you really going to be okay?”
After staring at Tata asking with a serious face.
Ainsha said.
“It’s not okay.”
dead pan.
blunt voice.
However, with fatigue that could not be hidden in it, the girl continued.
“Honestly, I am exhausted. My whole body is sore. I want to eat a lot of crembona made by Tata and fall asleep on the bed.”
It was natural.
The battle with the reincarnated lord ended just one day ago.
Even the princesses who completed the blood of the dragon could not bear the aftermath of the Daera Extinction.
At least, we were able to minimize the aftereffects thanks to the eighth dragon psionic we received from Limon while spending the night together, but that’s all.
Normally, you should get plenty of rest.
He forcibly maintained his body condition with the green dragon clan’s medicine and hunted the monsters without sleeping.
I couldn’t be in good shape.
“Still, I can’t help it. The monsters are too dangerous. We don’t know how much damage can be done if we don’t deal with it quickly.”
nevertheless.
Tata could not stop Ainsha.
Of the 666 youkai spread throughout the world by the reincarnated lord, each of them is absolutely self-sufficient.
It was a monster that even a great witch or an adult spirit spirit could barely deal with at the cost of their lives.
Thanks to Dreamroid’s great success, nearly half of them have already been dealt with, but on the contrary, it means that there are still hundreds of youkai left.
It was clear that the remaining monsters had to be dealt with quickly.
However, that was only possible with the existence of the highest level among the absolutes like the seven princesses.
Even Yekatrice and Rose Hasnetti Charlotte.
Everyone was flying nonstop to protect their respective territories, but I couldn’t tell Ainsha to rest.
Especially since the princesses who are not fighting the monsters are not resting.
“I want to know if Tata Maia has been contacted.”
“Fortunately, the state of the sword is said to be improving quickly.”
Maybe it was because Maia, the best in the world, put aside other matters and treated her herself.
Or is it because of the sword master’s strong body and resilience?
It was honestly good news that Anastasia, who was seriously injured by the Heavenly Demon, was recovering quickly.
The fact that the princesses are crazy now is because of the large gap she caused all kinds of natural disasters to protect almost half of the continent alone.
Of course, no matter how fast he recovered, he wouldn’t be able to return to the front in a few days.
However, what Ainsha was waiting for was not the news about the sword.
“I want to know if there has been any contact about Li Qingyu.”
“I’m sorry, but seeing as you didn’t say anything about the Black Dragon Princess, it seems that she hasn’t woken up yet.”
“…Li Qingyu is pathetic. At best, I caught the reincarnated monarch and became unconscious by myself. There are no fools.”
Recalling the black-haired girl who became unconscious after being swallowed by the bloody flash.
Ainsha muttered dully.
Maia’s diagnosis was that she was physically fine, but that meant that there was no way to cure her, even the best woman in the world.
“I will contact the church again.”
“Quit. Adults are still busy preparing for that. I can’t afford to waste it on Li Qingyu.”
“Haha…”
“Above all, Li Qingyu doesn’t die easily. So it would be a loss to worry unnecessarily.”
“…All right.”
If they couldn’t endure this much, they would have died at their own hands when they competed for Limon.
Tata, who was watching Ainsha speak with an expressionless face, finally lowered her head quietly.
It’s the same with everyone who doesn’t have enough power anyway.
It was quite a burden for Maia to be tied up for the treatment of Swordsman and Li Qingyu.
She also knew that realistically, Li Qingyu had no choice but to hope that he would overcome and wake up on his own.
It was just a little unexpected that Ainsha made such a cold-hearted judgment without her own advice.
‘You’re all grown up now, princess.’
The girl who always thought she was young has grown up like this before she knew it.
Before being an aide, as a nanny, it took a while to look at Ainsha with eyes full of complex feelings.
Shaking his head, Tata took out his tablet.
In order to connect to the information network shared by the seven clans and confirm the location of the nearest youkai.
Beep!
That was the moment.
A sharp sound rang from her pager.
Her face stiffened at the beep that only rang for very urgent calls, and she answered the pager.
Then he hurriedly opened the tactical situation board, confirmed some information, and spoke.
“The princess has a problem.”
“I want to know what the problem is again.”
“The youkai stopped raiding the defense line and started moving in one direction.”
“…I want to know if it means that youkai are gathering.”
“That’s right.”
Ainsha’s eyes shook.
I’ve been trying to catch it until now, but there are still hundreds of youkai left.
If so many youkai gathered in one place, it would be close to impossible to stop them unless they spread the Great Destruction Formation again.
In the worst case, even the territories of the seven princesses could collapse if they didn’t respond quickly.
but right after that.
Ainsha realized.
That the worst you thought was not really the worst.
“And an urgent call came from Eldorado.”
“…Tell me what kind of contact you are talking about.”
“The Fairy Queen said that the Constellations seem to have found out the secret of the Nine Worlds.”
“…!”
Only then did Ainsha notice.
Why did the 666 monsters, which could have dealt a huge blow to mankind if they had worked together, spread all over the world?
That is, the purpose of the monsters is not humanity, but something else.
In other words, the fact that it was to find the weakness of the Nine Worlds.
“Then, the youkai’s destination is…”
“Yes.”
Nine Worlds is also a barrier.
And any barrier will need a nucleus to maintain it.
However, the nucleus of the barrier was not El Dorado.
It was because the Fairy Queen, in preparation for Eldorado being the target if the Constellations invaded, hid the core elsewhere.
A land with as many spirits as North America.
One of the greatest wonders of mankind.
Before the monster wave started, Tata said with a firm face the place the fairy queen had told the seven princesses just in case.
“—This is Amazon.”
