Chapter 481

"The power of the emperor must be strong. However, if they become too close to the people of the demon king, the demon king will be excluded and the country will be run, and if the emperor gains more trust, the demon king will become famous. Charlotte realizes that she can control Edina, but forming too intimate relationships with important figures is dangerous. Charlotte thinks that she is only a substitute for the king and should not become the king herself, which is different from what Reinhardt actually wants. Of course, Charlotte does not think that she can gain more trust than Reinhardt from the Four Heavenly Kings and the Council just because she wants to. She is only cautious of such situations and does not even think that Olivia or Riana can trust her more than Reinhardt. However, they must be an uncomfortable but undeniable presence to them. Too weak or too strong power is not good. Charlotte is in a position where she has to balance the power. Before returning from Port Mocna to Lazark, Lucinil had to tell Charlotte and Harriet about the strange sight he had seen. Charlotte briefly explained what had happened in Lazark to Lucinil and Harriet. Lucinil pointed to the outskirts of Port Mocna and said that if someone had enough spiritual sense, they could feel the strong ghost energy. Too many deaths had accumulated in this area, and no one knew how many people had died. Before it becomes an unbearable situation, they have to do something. Charlotte asked what would happen if they didn't do anything, but Lucinil didn't know either. However, his expression was serious. The world is full of unjust deaths and ghostly energy. No one knows what will happen if they don't deal with it. Teleport scrolls can be used to return to Edina and rest for a few days, but they are not infinite. There is also a limit to the distance that can be traveled, so it is not possible to return to Edina with just one scroll." "I can barely make it through a few days without Harriet, thanks to the fact that teleport scrolls are the only thing we can barely afford to use. I can't waste them thoughtlessly, as it would only cause her more trouble. Monsters frequently appear in the Sren Mountains, as if the continent were not enough. Even the creatures that roam the wilderness are vastly different from those found here due to the excessively rugged terrain. As a result, even the inept cannot enter. That's why I couldn't sleep, as I might be attacked while I was asleep. It's possible to spend a month without sleep. I was aware that I had become a transcendent being that was different from an ordinary human being. I didn't want to realize it in this situation. However, no matter how strong my stamina is and how incomparable it is to an ordinary person, the mountains are still mountains. There was a limit to the speed at which I could cross the steep mountain ranges and climb the rocky cliffs, and at night, the mountains were so bitterly cold that I could barely cross them. Where is Liza? What's the difference between entering the mountains and finding a single oasis in the vast desert? It's not a waste of time. No, it's a waste of time. "Hoo..." I climb up a rock on a mountain peak and look out at the endless mountain range. When I saw the mountain ranges that seemed to be giant waves of the sea that had frozen in place, I thought that the moment I found Liza would never come. If I had known this, I would have gone with Ellen when she went home. Even if he was a descendant of a hero and a fool, he had a strange idea that he would become Erich von Ragan Artorius if he spent his childhood playing in such a rugged place. I don't think Liza was destroyed by monsters. But if Liza still exists, how would they deal with the monsters? There's a good chance that Liza's people have left to find a new place to live. If that's the case, then wandering around the Sren Mountains is just a waste of time. Would it be too hot to burn it down? As long as there is the flame of the Fire of Tuesday, I can destroy the entire mountain range. Then the troublesome monsters will either burn to death or go somewhere else. Of course, if I do that, Ellen's mother will try to kill me as soon as she sees me. I had all sorts of thoughts because the situation was so bleak. I come down from the rock and start walking again. I'm tired. I want to sleep. -Kiaaaak! However, a flying monster appeared out of nowhere and flew towards me. "Oh, come on." -Woohoo! I grip Tiamat, which I summoned in my right hand, and throw it with all my might. -Shiiiiing! Kukwak! " "Tiamat flew towards the flying monster that was coming towards me and released a surge of divine power in the air, causing the monster to explode. I descended the mountain, leaving behind the scattered blood of the exploded monster. I had been wandering in the Sren Mountains for three more days, and due to lack of sleep, my sense of time had become so distorted that I sometimes forgot where I was and what I was doing. I had hunted and eaten animals as my preserved food had run out. Thanks to the Fire of Tuesday, I didn't have to worry about making a fire. I climbed a cliff and slept in a crevice in the rock, believing that my instincts would wake me up if I was in danger of dying. I couldn't tell how long I had slept, but the important thing was that I didn't die. I descended the cliff and found a stream to drink from. Monsters constantly appeared, but I was able to defeat them with my relics. I didn't know where Liza was, whether she was in the northern, western, southern, or eastern part of the Sren Mountains. I felt like I was searching for Kim Seobang in Seoul without knowing the direction. I climbed the peaks, looking around every time, but I didn't know where to go. One night, after defeating a group of monsters, I sat on a rock at the top of a mountain, panting and covered in blood. I wondered if Liza even existed. Maybe all this effort was in vain. I had accumulated over 12,000 achievement points by defeating monsters for several days, but it was impossible to reach the Master Class with just achievement points. Suddenly, a strong wind blew from the top of the mountain, tearing my clothes and almost ripping my face and ears apart. I thought about taking someone else with me, but I didn't want to waste resources, so I came alone. But maybe I should have brought someone else with me." Nameless, some high mountain peak.

It seems to be the highest peak I've climbed so far.

I sit on a rock and look up at the night sky.

Suddenly, the full moon shines brightly.

Ellen's mother.

Luna Artorius.

She made the full moon appear as if she was moving the world and drew a sword from the moon.

It was an unreal and surreal sight even to see with my own eyes.

But the name Luna.

I could only think of the name meaning moon in front of the full moon.

Where is Liza?

Where is Luna Artorius?

Can't I really find that place?

I am not Ellen.

I don't know how to become a Master Class on my own.

I learned how to enhance my magic power on my own, but I don't know how to become a Master Class on my own because I am not Ellen Artorius.

So someone needs to tell me.

Anyone.

I don't want to die like this.

I know sacrificing my life for the ending is the best, but I don't want to do that.

I have to find someone.

Someone who can lead me.

I look up at the moon.

"...Luna."

Will she come if I call her to the moon?

If I shout to the moon.

If I appeal to the full moon.

"Luna Artorius."

Can I find Liza and Luna Artorius?

Desperately.

"Mom."

Unjust and angry.

"Mom!" I shout.

"Come out! You're watching everything! You're watching everything! Come out!"

Desperately.

"Mom! Come out! I know you're watching!"

-Mom...

-Ma...

X times.

At this age.

I was silently listening to the echoes of my own words bouncing off the mountain.

Somehow.

The moment I thought it was fortunate that no one was listening.

"...It's me."

"!"

Suddenly, a voice that sounded familiar to me came from behind.

I've heard that voice before.

"Why do you have to say that?"

I turn around.

"Mom?"

"So... why am I...?"

There was a familiar but unfamiliar face with a disgusted expression.

Luna Artorius.

She was watching me from somewhere after all.
