Chapter 661

Just like a fierce fight was happening in Diane, a fierce fight was also happening in the underground of Temple Magic University. There were no witnesses to remember the fight. It was definitely a fierce fight, but it wasn't Savoirline Tana who was fierce. "...." Savoirline Tana was silently watching the Immortal swordsman being pierced by the spear of Oreo. She didn't move a step since the battle began. All approaching Immortals were being intercepted. "This... monster...." Christina muttered in disbelief. It was definitely a human. It was just a human body that had become stronger after being resurrected. But Savoirline Tana was blocking all attacks from the Immortals without even drawing her sword. Even the elite among the Immortals who had risen to the rank of Grandmaster couldn't make Savoirline Tana draw her sword. Even if it was like that, it was still a battle of thousands of people. Even if thousands couldn't attack due to the narrow space, was this possible? Ellen Artorius had the power of the Holy Relic. But Savoirline Tana was even more of an unreasonable monster. She was known as the strongest on the continent, but her authority was weaker than that nickname. Before the Great War of the Demon World, there was the leader of the Shana Pelf, her teacher, Larken Simonstate. During and before the Great War of the Demon World, there was the warrior, Lagan Artorius. Now, after the Great War of the Demon World, there was Ellen Artorius. She was always mentioned after those people. Those people disappeared and were only called the strongest on the continent for a short time. Therefore, before the next strongest person in the world appeared, there were those who called Savoirline Tana the strongest in the Muju Mountains. But that was a story of the world. She was always the second person mentioned, but no one knew for sure if she was really second or not. Strength is not determined by the world's evaluation. Strength is just strength. Only those who have seen and experienced it can know how strong it is. Ellen Artorius is also powerful, but Savoirline Tana, who has reached that level without even a Holy Relic, is truly great. Savoirline Tana, who has reached that position through years of steady accumulation of strength, is a great existence. But that great existence is blocking her way. It was a shield that would break the spear if she tried to break through. If the fight expanded, the laboratory would be destroyed, and if that happened, the Immortals would be irreparable. Then it would be doing what the opponent wanted. Trying to kill Savoirline Tana by launching a large-scale attack would result in the destruction of the entire laboratory. Savoirline Tana would want that. 'Wait....' But as far as Christina's thoughts went, she was puzzled, just like when she predicted the destruction of the Allied Forces and the Demon Army and withdrew the Immortals. Savoirline Tana had the same intention. "To destroy the unbreakable shield, they would have to launch a full-scale attack that would cause the entire laboratory to collapse. Christina knew that she would not make such a choice. Savoirline Tana, despite being able to neutralize the Immortals, was not attacking them. She was only defending and maintaining a standoff to prevent the Immortals from being reintroduced. Savoirline Tana's intention was to prevent the Immortals from returning to their base and causing more casualties. She had the same intention as Christina, to prevent the destruction of both the Allied Forces and the Demon Army. Savoirline Tana was not there to kill Christina or the Immortals, but to keep the Immortals from returning to their base. She knew that if she attacked all the Immortals, they would launch a full-scale attack. Savoirline Tana was actively trying to prevent casualties and maintain the current situation. Christina realized this and understood Savoirline Tana's intentions." "Going all the way to the end, even though she knows it's not the way to go anymore, regretting the path she has walked without remembering the original purpose and intention. That's how it was originally. Savoirline Tana walked that path. Living with the Empire's sword for a long time, she killed anything. She killed more humans than demons. It's not certain whether she really protected something with her actions. She may have had to kill, or she may not have needed to kill. She just committed countless massacres. 'So the Gate incident was a clean war, even though it was difficult.' 'Monsters are evil.' 'There's no room for conversation.' 'So killing was the only way to do it.' There's no need to hesitate in a fight against an enemy who is not a compromise. That's why the Gate incident was a war that didn't need to think about slaughter apart from the difficulty of the war itself. But now Savoirline Tana is not in a place where there is an absolute line. She is in a place related to people, not monsters. It's unclear whether it's an action to protect something or an action to destroy something. She's here to carry out orders. 'Yes, that's how it was originally. To protect something, even the pretext of protecting it is ultimately lost.' At the end of the order. Savoirline Tana is not here to protect the Empire anymore. She's just standing here as the last sword of the collapsing Empire. 'You, who said you would save your dead friend, are now driving other friends to death.' '...' Christina glared at her, her lips trembling at Savoirline Tana's remark. She wanted to save her dead friend. But the truth she learned in the process showed her that the direction of her anger should be towards everyone. She dreamed of revenge. But Christina put all her remaining friends in the Allied Forces in jeopardy by withdrawing the Immortals. Not only will countless people die because of Christina's actions, but her friends could also die. Of course, Christina knows that too. Savoirline Tana has just stated a fact that Christina already knows. 'Christina.' '...' 'Do you still want to save your dead friend?' She thought there was a way. Immortal resurrection is a half-baked resurrection. She thought she could find a more complete way, a way to true resurrection. Has that thought changed now? 'I can do it.' She still believes that it is possible to find a way, even though she has not yet found it. It's not impossible. But Christina understands Savoirline Tana's words correctly. She didn't ask if she could save him. She asked if she wanted to save him. 'But there's no longer any qualification to do that.' There may be a way, but even if she finds that way, there is no longer any qualification to save Ashur." "There is no reason or qualification to find a way to save a dead friend when one has killed countless people, including friends, in the pursuit of revenge. Even if a way is found, it's too late to save Ashur. Christina may have the strongest army, but she still has to face the Empire, the Demon King, and the Hero, who are even more dangerous enemies than the Gate incident. Revenge is necessary, and everyone deserves to be destroyed. However, there is a weakness in Savoirline Tana's strategy of stalling for time, and Christina takes advantage of it to surround her with the Immortals. The Immortals begin to retreat, and Savoirline Tana watches with a stern expression as they disappear one by one. Christina laughs at her and the Immortals disappear in a flash of light, likely returning to the battlefield." Returning to the battlefield to hunt monsters, if the forces of the Demon King were to appear, they would also be hunted. Savoirline Tana could only watch. She had no way to stop their movements. "Why should I even bother with you?" After the Immortal forces disappeared in an instant, the laboratory became desolate again. If Savoirline Tana were to charge, Christina would be helpless. "Look." However, there was no need for forces like those protecting Christina. "Even if the Immortals are gone, you can't kill me, can you?" If Christina were to be killed, the Immortals would go on a rampage. They would attack the Allied Forces indiscriminately, not just the Demon King and monsters. However, Christina could only feel a sense of unease from Savoirline Tana's expression. Without anyone to protect her, Savoirline Tana slowly walked towards Christina. As she approached, Christina stumbled back in fear. In the end, Christina sat down, trembling in fear. Savoirline Tana's eyes were filled with sadness. "How could someone like you... like you... like a child like you..." "..." "Was it supposed to be like this...?" She had dreamed of revenge that was too great for her small and pitiful existence, trembling in fear at the thought of dying. Savoirline Tana sat down, looking at Christina's pitiful state with great sadness. She was not a villain of the century or an immortal ruler. She was just a little smarter. One alchemist. Savoirline Tana reaches for Christina's neck with sadness, but before she can grab her, Christina puts her hand in her pocket. "I told you not to come!" In Christina's hand, there was a teleport scroll. With a flash, Christina, Anna, and Louis Ancton disappeared. Tana wonders if Christina ran away because she was afraid of death or because of what would happen if Tana died. Tana's goal was not to kill Christina, but to protect her. Tana presses a button on an artifact to destroy the laboratory if the Immortals return to the battlefield. There is an explosion.
