Chapter 648

The battle has ended. As always in the conquest of a major city, it was necessary to clear away the bodies of monsters and kill any surviving monsters. However, that role was now being performed by Immortal, an army that could continue to revive even if they died. Therefore, Immortal's knights and wizards were patrolling the outskirts of the base, dealing with any surviving monsters. The outskirts of Ruboten were both a joint military base and Immortal's territory, a place where the eyes of the mountain people could not reach. Ellen cut off the head of a mole monster that was rushing towards her, but black blood poured out of the decapitated monster towards her. Blood was a dangerous substance that should not even touch her armor. However, the flames of the cloak of the sun that poured out before the blood could touch Ellen's body or armor evaporated the blood. Ellen was strong even without the two relics, but the Void Sword Lament and the Hellfire Raphaelt completed her. The shape of the Void Sword Raphaelt, which seemed to cut through the night sky, could cut through anything it touched. And the cloak of the sun was originally a weapon to protect the user, but Raphaelt detects "threats." Even those who have risen to the top of humanity's master class have been sacrificed to unpredictable threats from monsters. However, Raphaelt, who has awakened true power, protects Ellen from any attack that threatens her, regardless of whether Ellen knows it or not, as if the will of a god who knows everything is protecting the user. It blocks the breath if the monster's breath is dangerous, and blocks the blood if the blood is dangerous. A sword that cuts through anything. A shield that blocks anything. The perfection of offense and defense completes Ellen Artoleus as a hero. Therefore, even in the most dangerous place on the battlefield, Raphaelt can protect Ellen from any attack and bear any attack. However, it is not always the case that only giant monsters are cut down. Even small monsters like now can be dangerous to someone. That's why Ellen, even after the battle is over, wanders around the outskirts of the battlefield like she's possessed, looking for monsters without anyone commanding her. She is always the first to enter the battlefield and the last to return. Even now, when she has become something like a puppet, Ellen is doing the same thing she has always done. Therefore, everyone knows that Ellen is strange, but they don't know how strange she really is. She has always been quiet and her actions have not changed. "This is something Immortal will handle, do you have a reason to do this?" Christina asked Ellen. Ellen just looked at Christina without saying anything. Christina wondered if Ellen had become mute or if something had changed in her. Ellen continued to wander around the outskirts of the battlefield, looking for monsters without anyone commanding her. Christina proposed that Ellen become her hostage to lure the demon king, but Ellen remained silent. The demon king will see not the living Ellen Artorius, but the Ellen who has become immortal. He will be speechless at the sight of Ellen, who has become a shell of herself after an irreversible death. Christina orders Ellen to be captured, but Ellen remains silent. Ellen wields the Void Sword and easily defeats four immortals, leaving Christina in awe of the power of the artifact. Ellen approaches Christina, who realizes the absurdity of trying to defeat Ellen with any weapon or magic. Ellen, with the Void Sword and the Cloak of Hellfire, is invincible. The reason Ellen was underestimated until now was because she still had some humanity left in her. "It is impossible to make Ellen Artorius, who has no hesitation, kneel down with force. Christina finally realizes that an alchemist is an alchemist. She has never fought directly or witnessed a fight. She thought that there was nothing that could stand in front of her, thanks to being able to control over a thousand grand magicians and master classes like her own limbs. The reason Ellen was underestimated until now was because she still had some humanity left in her. Christina is left speechless as Ellen approaches her with ease and defeats her effortlessly with the Void Sword and the Cloak of Hellfire. Christina realizes the absurdity of trying to defeat Ellen with any weapon or magic. Ellen, with the Void Sword and the Cloak of Hellfire, is invincible." Ellen suddenly released Christina.

"Cr... gasp! Gasp! Ugh! Gasp! Gasp!"

Christina, who was gasping for breath on the ground, was being watched by Ellen.

It was a gaze without any emotion.

Not even a contemptuous look like looking down on trash.

"Huh! Black! Huh!"

Christina, who breathed in and out several times, still couldn't escape.

She had to run away.

She had to escape.

The thought was in her head, but the magic kept failing.

Now her throat wasn't even dry.

She couldn't use magic because of the pressure and fear.

How can she use magic in battle?

How can she do that?

How can a human be so strong?

As Christina experienced what she knew in her head with her body, she couldn't help but tremble with fear.

No matter how justifiable the anger and hatred were.

The weak are weak and the strong are strong.

Those who don't know how to fight can't understand fighting.

You have to manipulate and scheme according to the subject.

If you step forward without knowing the subject, you will be in trouble.

Ellen looked at Christina, who was completely helpless because of a brief moment of breathlessness, crumpled up like trash, and then opened her mouth for the first time.

"You still have some use."

"Kkuek...!"

-Zzzing!

Christina couldn't hear what Ellen was saying at all.

It was a small voice.

But it had a strange resonance, as if thousands of voices were mixed together.

In the midst of the pain that felt like the voice was tearing her brain apart, Christina writhed.

It was only a small part of what Ellen had endured.

But Christina couldn't bear even a single voice of those overwhelming spirits and could only crouch down and tremble all over her body.

"I'll spare you."

"Ugh...!"

Ellen was something that Christina couldn't even imagine.

Not just simple violence.

Not even a simple voice.

Christina couldn't handle it.

The only fortunate thing was that Christina didn't pay the price of her life for her arrogance.

Ellen left Christina, who had fainted on the ground like a monster's corpse, and returned to the Allied Forces' base.
