Chapter 447

- "Kkwagwagwang!"

- A meteor falls from the sky and shatters in the air above the temple, while Antillanous watches from afar.

- It is daytime, but the sky is cracked and pouring meteors towards the temple as if a mirror has been shattered.

- The temple's active barrier is strong enough to withstand even the largest meteorites that could turn a village into ashes.

- Antillanous watches as monsters pour out of the warp gate, killing people.

- The monsters are from a different dimension, created by imperfect Akasha, and are the worst disaster.

- Antillanous is satisfied with the spectacle, which is beyond his expectations.

- The main office remains silent, and the demon king predicts that the disaster has already begun.

- The demon king reveals that the disaster is not limited to the Huangdo region, but has occurred throughout the continent.

- The larger the gate, the more dangerous the monsters that come out of it, so breaking the super-sized warp gate should be a priority.

- The Huangdo region has the most warp gates, so small and medium-sized villages or bases without proper troops or weapons should be abandoned.

- Most countries will lose their functionality, and only powerful imperial capitals or stronghold cities like Keunshutat will function properly.

- The situation has already happened, and the demon king does not blame humans for it.

- The imperial elite troops are all gathered here, and Huangdo has the most warp gates on the continent.

- If action is not taken quickly, the disaster will turn Huangdo into ashes. Meteors are falling to destroy the temple. Everyone listened to the words of the demon king with frozen expressions. If he had planned such a thing to destroy humanity, there was no reason to reveal this fact. The disaster has begun. If faced with such a situation where the cause and reason are unknown, the scale of damage will only increase over time. Or perhaps, is it because they know that destruction cannot be avoided even if they are told? No, there is no reason to do so. If this situation is mistaken for happening only in Huangdo, the empire will face a world that has turned to ashes later. In a situation where all warp gates are not functioning, communication is difficult. Even if time is delayed, humanity will suffer greater damage, but there is no reason to say that this disaster is continent-wide. Everyone in this place senses it. Regardless of whether the demon king's subordinates caused this, the demon king truly did not want to face this situation. That's why he is revealing the solution to humanity. The emperor is skeptical. Even if everything else is not believable, the demon king's words about the disaster that has already occurred must be believed. If the demon king really cared for humanity, he cannot be killed. There may be something else they know. However, they cannot let him go like this. They are sure that something will happen, but if Huangdo collapses like this, the empire will end. However, in a situation where a disaster that is estimated to threaten the entire continent has occurred, the troops that can be spared for the demon king are limited. "Tana, stay with the 1st unit." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Shanapel, all troops except the 1st unit and the imperial wizards will follow me." The demon king's problem is a problem, but now the situation may cause Huangdo to evaporate. If the elite troops wait here to monitor the demon king, the empire may disappear. The troops withdraw like falling water. The emperor and Berthus also leave their seats. Olivia Lance also looks at the Pope of the Ode Church with a stern expression. "We also have to deal with this situation. Please respond quickly, Pope and Commander." Although Olivia speaks with a stern expression, all the popes, including the commander of the Holy Knights, know what she intends. It was because they could tell what that woman was thinking in this incredible situation, even though her expression was serious. But just as the emperor had to leave his seat, they could not just watch this situation. Huangdo now needs the power of the holy knights, priests, and popes in this place. Something must be done before the damage spreads any further. "Let's go." The holy knights and the Pope of the Ode Church left their seats. Only the direct units commanded by the commander of the Holy Knights, including Illyon Bulton, remained in place. In an instant, there were few people left. Scarlet and Sabiolin Tana stood next to Reinhardt. Olivia Lance. Ellen Artorius. However, in a situation where anything could happen to the demon king's safety, the situation was being guarded by Shanael's elite, including Illyon Bulton. Despite the situation, they were prepared for any sudden attacks or emergencies. Even if Olivia Lance were to act unexpectedly, they were capable of handling the situation. Of course, this was assuming that Olivia Lance was the only one who would act unexpectedly. Time passed in silence as a meteor shower rained down on the temple and monsters appeared in Huangdo. They endured the anxious time with the obligation to monitor the demon king. Olivia watched the situation with an unreadable expression, while Ellen watched with her lips pressed together. Sabiolin Tana stood by Reinhardt's side, determined not to leave. Suddenly, troops guarding the entrance burst in, dressed in deep mourning and all dead. Then, a middle-aged man with a bleak impression entered. "Epinhauzer...?" Sabiolin Tana stared at Epinhauzer, who walked slowly with a sword in disbelief. And then, a girl with silver hair appeared on the other side, gathering steam in the air. "Who is she...?" Olivia and Ellen could only stare in surprise at the sudden appearance of the girl. The girl who had been close to Reinhardt since she entered the Royal Class 1st grade raised both hands to the sky. In an instant, countless ice spears hanging from the ceiling fell to the ground, blocking the way. Scarlet suddenly threw the chair Reinhardt was tied to towards Epinhauzer. The demon king opened his eyes as he flew towards him. "Sarke...Gar...?" The red-haired girl spoke in an unfamiliar voice. "You must survive, Your Majesty." Reinhardt gritted his teeth as he met her gaze, even though she was Scarlet. Epinhauzer grabbed the chair the demon king was tied to and put it down, breaking the shackles with just his bare hands. "Teacher...?" Reinhardt looked at Epinhauzer in disbelief. "There's no time for a lot of talk." Epinhauzer, who still had a bleak impression and didn't seem to have any recognition, handed him the flame of Tuesday, which he had somehow retrieved. The silver-blue magic power was burning in Epinhauzer's hand. Swordmaster, Epinhauzer said. "Go, Reinhardt." He was the only one left in front of Reinhardt, saying it had nothing to do with the order. "Reinhardt was even more surprised by Epinhauzer's words. Depending on his expression, Epinhauzer didn't add any irritating words. Lucynil was already in the midst of receiving attacks from wizards and knights attacking her. Tana couldn't understand this situation, but she was already rushing towards Epinhauzer. But before Tana's charge could reach Epinhauzer, she was hit by someone else's charge and rolled on the ground. 'Royar...?' A middle-aged woman with disheveled hair and a mourning outfit that looked like a worn-out horse, spoke to the demon king. 'Your Majesty.' The demon king gritted his teeth as he watched Royar turn into a white wolf. Whether the demon king was good or evil was not a problem at this point. The empire had to withdraw its troops. Therefore, the planned rescue operation began. Shanael's knights, who were performing their duty, had to fulfill their duty. Olivia Ranche, with a firm expression, moved as if she knew what she had to do. Olivia Ranche, who stepped on the accelerator, ran towards Reinhardt as if she were flying. Soon, Olivia Ranche caught up with Reinhardt and grabbed his arm and ran away. 'Run. Run, Reinhardt. You have to run.' There's no time to waste. Shouting that there's no need to do this to save me is useless. I thought dying was the best option. I thought it was best to die so that this wouldn't happen. But I didn't die. Amidst suspicion and doubt, people didn't kill me or couldn't kill me." "I tried to solve something by dying, but in the end, I couldn't solve anything. That's why this happened. I won't die saying it's all my responsibility in despair. I tried to achieve something through death, but I couldn't die when I was supposed to. Now, there's nothing I can achieve through death, so I won't seek it out. I have to live. I don't know what I should do while living, but I can't easily give up my life that I exchanged for countless deaths. Even if it's unfair, even if it's frustrating, even if it's sad, I can't die. I have to find something I can do while living. I can't blame myself for being useless and someone who shouldn't exist. The scene I saw was a sight that I couldn't even imagine when I imagined hell. The barrier surrounding the temple had cracks, and meteors were falling through them and hitting the ground. Unidentified beasts were flying in the sky beyond the temple, spewing terrible flames or white frost. A disaster of a different level than the attack of the demon worshippers in Rajeurn was happening. Is the world coming to an end? The Gate incident happened earlier than planned. Regretting that nothing would have happened if I had just stayed still is meaningless. I can't expect to go back to the past and not do anything. I have to move forward. I don't know what to do in front of me, but I have to live for now. I run with Olivia. Who will live and who will die in the fight that's happening? The knights of Shanafeel are following behind me. My body is damaged from the long imprisonment, but I have to do what I can. The concept of purchasing stats with achievement points. The most important ability is magic power. The higher the magic power, the more it enhances my overall physical abilities. In other words, even if only the magic power stat increases, there is a bonus effect that raises my overall physical abilities. That's why magic power is the most efficient stat. I invest achievement points in magic power. With a sudden increase of about 10 in magic power, my magic power stat rises from A-rank to S-rank. This is already a magic power amount that rivals that of a great wizard. I could become a monster with magic power surpassing Savion Tana by investing more points, but I'll hold off for now." "If it's like this, maybe that dirty demon also hid his power," I wonder if I'll hear such words. There's no time to think about that. The suddenly increased amount of magic power injects vitality into my exhausted body along with magic enhancement. Even though my physical abilities have decreased due to poor eating, my magic power has not been damaged. I have to leave the temple. I don't know what to do once I'm out, but I have to leave. However, no matter how much my magic power has increased, the Shanafeel knights, who are made up of sword masters, are the ones following me. They will soon catch up to me. I attack, but I don't know if I can win. Even if I use Alsvinger, I'm at a disadvantage. It's the same if I fight with Olivia. Am I going to be caught and die like this? Like this? Will all the sacrifices be meaningless? In front of me, running like that, on the streets of the temple where Abigail is. As if blocking my way, someone was standing there. "Crackle! Crackle! Kururung!" "Who is that...?" "Liana..." Liana de Grants was staring at me, spraying blue sparks all over her body. Yes. Now that I know I'm a demon, I can't forgive myself. I was even wondering why she didn't appear earlier. It felt like she was blocking my way as if it were a predetermined course of action to kill me. Lightning strikes instantly. It's almost impossible to avoid it. Even Liana's lightning, which has reached its highest level, cannot be avoided. Even if I withstand it with the protective power of magic enhancement, I will be caught by the pursuing Shanafeel knights. Die or be caught. I can't get away from her lightning. So, just before I try to stop my desperate footsteps. A blue flash shot out of Liana's outstretched hand, engulfing a fierce current. "Kwang! Kwarrung!" Hearing the shock wave tearing through the air, Olivia and I could only gasp. The lightning grazed my cheek and passed by. It's not me. "Kuk!" "Kryuk!" It hit the Shanafeel knights who were chasing me. Olivia and I could only stare blankly as the knights were either thrown back by the lightning or shuddered in place. "What are you doing, you idiot! Come here quickly?!" Liana shouted angrily, grabbing my arm. Oh. Does she know? When did she know? How? As Olivia and I approached, Liana began to gather lightning without saying a word. "Kurung! Kurung! Kururung!" Dozens of sparks began to flash in the air, and in an instant, a tremendous lightning storm struck the fallen knights, as well as their surroundings. "Kwarrung!" The lightning struck the trees, causing them to explode, and the bricks on the ground to burst out. The extreme lightning, which destroyed objects and relentlessly attacked the fallen knights, was telling everything. Liana knows everything.
