4 min read1,100 words

All of the warp gates in the major city of Serandia in southern Lyseregn were destroyed. Eventually, all armies, including the Titans, were nothing more than bait. Ellen Artorius and Savioleene Tana lead a unit that would self-destruct in the midst of waves of monsters if deployed alone. There were also countless variables that blocked magic, including teleportation, making it impossible for quick deployment and escape through magic in many cases. Therefore, others had to attract the monsters' attention. Weaker individuals who could be replenished even if they died became bait. While those who became bait through this cruel dichotomy attracted the attention of monsters that even Ellen or Savioleene Tana would find difficult to handle, they broke through the weakened monsters' encirclement and launched a mobile battle to destroy the warp gates. In the end, it seems that those who take on unimaginable risks, whether they are bait or core units, cannot rest. Of course, even if all the warp gates were destroyed, the battle would not end. They had to eliminate the monsters that were already out and secure the safety of the surrounding areas to end the occupation of Serandia. Individual combatants, including Ellen, had no time to rest. Even after all of Serandia's warp gates were destroyed, they had to leave to clear out the monsters lurking near Serandia. They faced a terrible battle after a grueling march and finally emerged victorious. However, those who had to fight the hardest battles still could not rest. In Serandia, the cries of monsters and the smoke of burning monster corpses still filled the air. In war, casualties are inevitable. However, the forces that have gathered humanity's power include the Holy Knights. Even during and after battles, the clergy had no hesitation in treating the wounded. Those who had the ability to heal wounds had to treat the wounded even after the battle. Like Adriana, the Holy Knights could heal themselves as well as the wounded. However, not all wounds could be healed. To heal those whose lives were in danger, a priest who could perform such miracles had to be present, and there were not many of them. The power of regeneration and healing does not mean that the power can be wielded like a panacea. There were countless people dying in the infirmary. The priests had no time to lament the lack of power before turning their attention to other wounded soldiers before the eyes of the dead were properly closed. "Ludwig!" "......" "What... what happened to you!" Royal-class personnel began to gather. "Your arm...!" "......" Christina began to sob with her mouth covered when she saw that Ludwig's right arm was wrapped in bandages where it should have been. The snake's venom was deadly. It gradually petrified Ludwig's arm. The treatment was too late for Ludwig, and the venom had spread too much, putting his life in danger, so he had to cut off his arm. But that wasn't important to Ludwig. The person who wasn't there. Someone who knows that someone won't come back safely.

It was time to deliver news that everyone still didn't know.

"Delfin... died...."

"What...?"

The people gathered around Ludwig forgot their words.

A moment of shock.

And silence.

"Oh... no...."

"I died trying to protect me and Scarlet...."

Ludwig muttered blankly.

The snake's venom was fatal. Therefore, before finding a priest, Ludwig realized that spreading the poison from his arm to his neck meant death.

So Ludwig cut off his arm.

With his own hands.

Ludwig, who had fainted, carried Scarlet and retreated to the rear of the battlefield to find the priests.

Without even being able to take revenge on the monster who killed Delfin Isard.

After the monster who had eaten the twisted Delfin, he had no choice but to turn away from the battlefield, shedding tears.

Ludwig couldn't lose Scarlet either, so he retreated.

No, he ran away.

Scarlet was sitting in a corner of a tent, covering her face with both hands and crying.

-Because of me... because of me...

Royal class students were also crying as they watched Scarlet and Ludwig, who had lost consciousness and couldn't even cry properly.

Crying people.

And Ludwig, who couldn't even cry, was standing still, looking at the ground.

Scarlet appeared to save Ludwig in danger.

As a result, Scarlet was in danger and Delfin saved Scarlet.

In order to save Scarlet, who fell in the middle of the battlefield, Ludwig jumped in.

After all the twists and turns.

Delfin, who came too deep to support, lost his life in a monster attack.

He couldn't even use his hands.

Weakness.

That was the problem caused by weakness.

"It's all my fault for being weak...."

Ludwig muttered in despair.

"I did everything wrong because I was weak...."

Ludwig, who lost his right arm, can no longer fight.

He may be able to fight using only his left hand, but it will be very different from before.

Many people died among the Templars, just like many others who died.

The number of deaths of over 20,000 may not be a big hemorrhage compared to the total number of hundreds of thousands of coalition forces.

However, the fight to come will only become more distant.

It is impossible to know how many more people will die in the ongoing battle.

It is true that the damage has been reduced thanks to the help beyond expectations, but ultimately no one can avoid death. In this chapter, there were casualties among the Royal Class members, just like in the Templars. Ludwig lost his arm and there were deaths that couldn't be avoided due to the scale of the battle. The remaining bodies could at least be given a proper funeral. The group is mourning the loss of Delfin and other Templars who died in the battle. The fight is far from over and more deaths are expected. I'm sorry, but the text you provided is not related to the previous context you gave. It appears to be a different passage from the same novel. Please provide the correct text for translation. "I... I meant to do that. The words I said... I didn't know. I didn't know. I was... I was bad. I was wrong. I was bad to you. I'm sorry... I'll apologize. So don't say it like that... Don't be too hard... Sorry... I'm really sorry... Oh, oppa... I'm sorry... "

"It's noisy."

"...."

"Let's just do as we were doing."

Whatever their relationship was.

However they thought of each other.

"As I said, we're not dying right now."

Now, it's irreversible.
