Chapter 422

When I arrived near the tomb of Lich through the mass teleport after passing through the gate, I could see a huge foggy area. We were waiting around the area until the wizards finished analyzing the maze. Sabiolan Tana warned us to be careful and not to engage in combat unless necessary. We waited outside for a long time until the wizards finished analyzing the maze. Suddenly, the fog started to clear, and there was an earthquake. Tana warned us to protect ourselves as there could be landslides. With a loud noise, trees fell and the ground in the middle of the maze rose unnaturally. The ground then sank after a powerful explosion from underground. The group was protected by the wizards' barrier. The maze disappeared and the ground collapsed, meaning that the adventurers who were searching for treasure in the maze likely died. Sabiolan Tana ordered the group to prepare for combat. Harryott saw his father and panicked. The explosion caused the original owner of the maze, Lich, to disappear. The Duke of Saengtuan and the wizards were unharmed. Translation:

However, the maze disappeared and the ground collapsed, indicating that the adventurers who were searching for treasure in the maze likely died.

Translation of the provided text:

Arclich and Kantus Magna's leader, Lukren, turned his gaze to someone else before confirming the safety of Antirianus. "Who is that woman?" Lukren watched the situation without a hair out of place or a change in expression. He could not tell if she was an enemy or an ally, so he had to be cautious of her. Under the moonlight, Lukren sensed that Antirianus was different. His golden pupils were vertically split, and his fangs protruded between his pale skin and lips. He had become a vampire. Lukren looked up at the sky. Vampires were creatures of the night. "You didn't manage your time well, Lukren." Antirianus raised both hands. The ground shook as the seven great vampire families' lord of Saturday, Antirianus, covered Arclich. "Now is the time to reach the truth of Akasha." "What...?" Luna muttered quietly. "Maybe we didn't come to the right place..." Luna took a step forward. Then, suddenly, the woman disappeared. However, the Duke saw a woman appear behind the shaman. He couldn't tell if it was magic or physical ability, but the woman caught up with the shaman with just one slow step. "Who are you?" The shaman asked with a faint smile. "I'll ask you. Where is the Archdemon?" Luna asked calmly. Antirianus didn't panic at the unexpected question. "How do you know about that? It doesn't matter, though." As the woman took a step forward, she appeared in front of the shaman instead of behind him. The woman asked Antirianus, "Where is the Archdemon?" Antirianus smiled. "Haha. I don't know which one you're talking about, but if you bend your arm inward like this..." The shaman reached out to the woman. "How dare you speak so recklessly to a stranger." -Whoosh! As Antirianus reached out, Luna disappeared like an illusion and reappeared a few steps behind him. The crystal prison behind Luna cracked, and she could see mages and knights approaching from afar. Antirianus smiled grotesquely as he faced Arclich, who was filled with hatred. The Black Order and the Vampire Council arrived to support Antirianus, while the Imperial elites approached. The battle between the three factions was about to begin. Savoline Tana arrived at the scene and observed the situation, while the Imperial elites charged into the storm. The scale of the fight had become huge, and many groups, including Lucinil and the adventurers, were involved. The goal was to reach Rose Dwin, but the conflict with the Imperial elites had already begun. Someone will die. Hae-ri and I watched the scene from our position, unable to intervene. Hae-ri's father, the Duke of Saengtuan, is in the midst of the fight. Hae-ri trembles in confusion and does something. Then, the Duke and his troops, who are far away, begin to move towards us, using consecutive short-range teleportation. In the midst of the fight, where Antirianus is presumed to be, there is a fierce surge of magic, followed by lightning and thunder. Savoline Tana's troops are also involved, creating a huge whirlwind of battle. "We have to get out of here first. We'll talk later," the Duke says, hugging Hae-ri. They use short-range teleportation to move away quickly. "I should follow the situation, but I don't have any intention to do so yet. It seems certain that the person fighting over there is Kantus Magnain. But at the point where they left the fight and came over here, it's possible that the Duke is not on the same side as those guys. Then why was the Duke with that person? Is the person causing the commotion really Roser Dwinn? What if the Empire doesn't subdue him and just kills him? As I turned my body to go up to a high point to observe the situation, someone was standing on the hill where the foundation had collapsed. A cold-faced woman was looking down at me with the moonlight behind her. I didn't feel unfamiliar with her at all. She looked like Ellen would if she became an adult. -Sappun. When she took a step, she appeared in front of me as if she had leaped through space. -Chareuk. A small pendant necklace that I usually wore under a shabby case. She grabbed my necklace. -Jjaeaeng! And the case shattered into pieces, revealing the red gem inside. 'The flame of Hwayo...' She looked at me. I immediately understood when I saw the flame of Hwayo. 'Where did you get this?' Her tone was kind, but there was no kindness in it. 'W-who... who are you?' She just looked at me and put down my necklace. 'If the answer is difficult, I guess I'll have to ask differently.' I felt like I couldn't breathe even though nothing had happened. 'Where is the Archdemon?' After she finished speaking, she took a step back. -Kwachang! And a blue magic barrier was stuck where she had been. -Pot! And someone's silhouette arrived in front of me. 'Ellelys!' 'Step back, Jeha!' Was Ellelys looking around without interfering in the fight? Ellelys, who had been observing the situation, intervened when she thought I was in danger. The woman with black hair looked at Ellelys. 'You came. The seventh night's Hwayo guardian...' '...' 'The ancient Archdemon.' I felt like my mind stopped working at those words. 'And the boy with the flame of Hwayo, who is not a vampire...' She looked at me. 'The boy protected by the Archdemon...' I didn't know what this person was talking about. But the fact that I had the flame of Hwayo was already enough evidence, and it seemed like she had come to a conclusion. 'You must be the last Archdemon.' Ellelys and I didn't know who this woman was, but she seemed to have figured out who we were at a glance. 'Who are you?' Ellelys looked at the woman with hostility. I still didn't even understand what she had said to Ellelys as she stepped back a few steps and stared at Ellelys silently. 'Luna.'" "Sun and Moon Master, Luna Artorius."

She raised her right arm quietly.

At that moment, an unbelievable thing happened.

"Although it is our law not to interfere in human affairs...."

As if the laws of the world had been reversed, the crescent moon on her back suddenly began to grow larger.

The full moon, which was about ten or twenty times larger than usual, filled the world with a cool light.

I didn't understand what was happening at all.

"I don't want to lose my child twice."

She reached out to the enlarged moon. Something seemed to be in her hand, swallowed by the moonlight.

It was a divine sword in the shape of moonlight, as if the moonlight was in her hand.

I don't know what an ancient Archdemon is or what Sun and Moon Master means.

But the result is right in front of me.

Ellen's mother is trying to kill me.
