68 Attack on the Demon Temple (1)

It was as if time had stopped.

No, the wave that spreads from the part where Zion’s finger and the blood dragon’s breath meet.

The time of the world that such a wave hit was actually stopping.

The laws in the still world begin to break down and be re-established at the same time.

denial of the law.

It is one of the greatest negativity powers that the Black Star can only unleash until it reaches the 8th star.

Such power was unfolding from the hands of Zion, who was still only seven stars.

That’s why it didn’t unfold perfectly, and there were countless loopholes, but it’s all over the place!

Nevertheless, the breath of the Blood Dragon was being completely erased from the world.

It’s like a video full of noise.

A breath that shakes in space with a crackling sound and disappears.

Perhaps that wasn’t enough, the hand of negativity, which went straight back through the breath, begins to annihilate the blood dragon’s body and everything that exists around it at the same time.

“ Ah… … .”

The battlefield is once again stained with a scene beyond imagination.

bum bum, bum bum.

The sound of Zion’s footsteps slowly approaching Galactio, who was staring blankly at the scene, began to resonate throughout the battlefield.

“ How, how… … .”

Words that repeatedly flowed from the mouth of the warlock, who fluctuated without mercy.

Even though he was clearly looking with his own two eyes, Galactio could hardly comprehend the scene unfolding before his eyes.

It wasn’t magic.

However, it was neither martial nor powerful.

Something fundamentally different from them.

It was as if something foreign that should not have existed in this world was felt from the blow the Emperor had just unleashed.

“ You… … What are you?”

A trembling question flowed from Galactio’s mouth, as it seemed that the emperor who performed such a blow was not like him at all.

However,

Scratch!

It was not Zion who could answer that question.

Shion cut Galactio’s head straight away with indifferent eyes.

It was Galactio who would not die even if he had been decapitated because he accepted the demon, but at the same time, the Black Star of Zion who had penetrated, smashed his entire body, causing him to die.

dump.

After the warlock, who dominated the past, met a futile end,

“ Your Majesty has dealt with the enemy chief! All troops, annihilate the remaining enemy forces!”

wow!

Not to mention the battle that followed.

The Black Horse Flyers were swept away by the Monster Corps and the 7th Corps without even being able to properly resist.

However, there was a slight dissatisfaction in Shion’s eyes looking at him.

‘It’s not narrowing down at all.’

A little while ago, I was too unreasonable to use an incomplete negation of the law.

And recently, they’ve been fighting a lot more on purpose.

They were all trying to narrow the distance to the 8th star under the Black Star.

However, it was only a small help, and the actual effect was not so great.

‘ The power of the Demon King I saw through the hole last time was at a level that I couldn’t deal with now.’

Therefore, it could be said that reaching 8 stars was not an option but a necessity.

at that time,

“ Your Majesty.”

One of the shadows of the eons, who suddenly approached Zion, bowed his head politely and opened his mouth.

“ It is reported that the Plains of Invasion and the surrounding area have just been completely captured.”

“ Good.”

Shion nodded his head as if it was natural.

I had no choice but to do so.

The battle of the plains had already been slanted in this direction since before that, and even the warriors had joined the party.

“ But… … One more report has come in.”

A shadow that hesitates to speak with a hardened face.

“ What?”

“… … Su In-hae was defeated.”

Zion’s eyes narrowed at those words.

* * *

The western outskirts of the station.

“ I think we will be able to go inland soon.”

A low voice came out of the mouth of Diena, who commanded the Allied Forces of the Fairy Forest and Giant Horde that had penetrated there.

Those eyes of hers,

“ Kyahahahahaha!”

In the middle of the battlefield that was almost organized, he was looking at the red-eyed witch who was running wild.

It was Riosina who was sent here because of Zion’s judgment that the proportion of the allied forces infiltrating to the west was less than that of other places.

‘ I think it’s gotten weirder than I’ve seen before.’

Diana shook her head with that thought, but that didn’t stop her.

It was undoubtedly true that the witch took over this place with ease.

“ Hmm, are you going to head inland right away? Or, it doesn’t seem bad to wait for the Emperor’s instructions here after posting the report.”

The first branch of the fairy forest, Hallegrion, approaching Diena and talking.

“ Let’s talk first with the Warchief of the Overlord… … .”

It was the moment that Diana was about to answer.

“ Your Majesty, orders have come from Your Majesty the Emperor!”

A communication wizard hurriedly ran and shouted at Diena.

“ What?”

“ It is a summons. His Majesty the Emperor has ordered the convening of the Supreme Council.”

“… … draft call?”

Diana’s face changed strangely upon hearing those words.

* * *

The largest barracks among the temporary imperial military bases in the Plains of Invasion.

There were far more people than usual in the barracks used as meeting rooms for the top leaders.

Those who actually lead this war, such as the third generation of Apocrypha, the head of the five generations, and the leader of the highest order of knights.

It was the first general meeting since the war began, but the atmosphere was not very good.

“ Hey, I don’t understand at all.”

It was because of Su In-hae’s defeat.

“ Everyone here knows that this side started the war on much more favorable terms. Timing, strategy, and even fraud. Even the magician didn’t even respond properly in the beginning.”

Diena, who had moved to this place with the help of Tyrian, one of the warriors, was pouring out words like a rapid-fire cannon at Su In-hae’s characters as soon as she entered the barracks after hearing the news of the defeat.

“ But how can you lose? Didn’t you even refuse to support troops saying you were confident?”

“ Calm down, Diana. I heard it was close to force majeure.”

Groud, the head of the Ozrima family, stopped Diena, but even in his eyes, there was a faint light that he could not understand.

“ Resilience? Seeing only one person and calling it force majeure? What nonsense is that? Unless the Demon King or the Great Supply had appeared, this operation had to be unconditionally successful. It was also the best condition. But since we didn’t, it’s going to be dangerous elsewhere. Maybe we need to revise our whole strategy going forward. At this level, I doubt the qualifications of the third generation… … .”

“ You’re talking too much!”

Instead of Wol Ha-woon, who was silently listening with his head bowed, Hwa Gang-jin, who was next to him, could not bear it and shouted.

“ Thousands? No, tens of thousands? It is the number of prisoners who lost their lives in the short time they faced ‘him’. If the battle had continued longer, the damage would have been much greater.

Even if I had killed him, I wouldn’t have been able to fight any more. Retreat was the best option for us! Perhaps the result would have been the same if it were a fairy forest or a giant colony of giants rather than us. No, it could have been worse.”

“ What? what now… … .”

At Hwa Gang-jin’s words, the atmosphere in the barracks of the meeting was about to get worse.

jerk.

Low footsteps could be heard in the ears of those in the barracks.

With him, a man slowly began to appear in the rapidly sinking atmosphere.

As if the sight that had been reminiscent of a market place before that had been a lie.

bum bum, bum bum.

A man sits at the top of the barracks that have slowly become quiet.

As soon as he entered, the man who grabbed everything in an instant, from the mouth of Shion,

“ Let’s start the meeting.”

A languid voice came out.

Thierry got up quietly and opened his mouth, pointing at the map.

“ I see. Your Majesty, then, let’s start with the defeat of Su In-hae’s forces that entered the East of the Magic Station. The cause is… … .”

“ Agent Igmaha Levia. Am I right?”

“… … That’s right.”

Shion looked at Wolhoun, who muttered ‘I’m sorry’ with his head bowed down as if he had no face to see him.

‘ Surprisingly.’

It wasn’t because Su In-hae was defeated that Shion thought so.

The agent, or more precisely, Igmaha Levia, who is called the agent of the world.

He not only had immortality from birth, but has now acquired the status of a demigod.

If he did, Su In-hae’s defeat would be natural.

the problem is,

‘ Why did that guy come out?’

Just like its nickname, Igmaha was a person who moved according to the will of the world.

In other words, the guardian of world balance.

That’s why he never moved because of personal feelings or reasons.

‘ In the chronicles, I know that he did not move until the end… … .’

I could only guess that Zion himself twisted the fate of the world that was set for destruction, and that he moved as a reaction to it.

‘ Well, it doesn’t matter.’

It was enough to destroy everything that stood in the way anyway.

“ Your Majesty, do you intend to add strength to Suinhae’s side?”

“ You don’t have to.”

At the question of the sword king Ludwig, the head of Ascalon, Shion shook his head.

“ For now, let’s put the power of the water in-hae side back. You don’t need to dig too hard right now. The other two have already gone inland anyway, so I’ll focus on that.”

Some of the strategies I had initially envisioned went wrong, but there are always a lot of variables in war.

So this kind of thing was very familiar to Zion.

“ Then are you ignoring the agent as well?”

“ No, I can’t leave it alone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t send power there.”

Dispersing forces to find an agent who might be there was very risky.

“ Then… … .”

“ Like last time, I’ll have to make it the only way to find it from the other side first.”

“ But this is a magic station. There must be a way… … You’ve already thought about it.”

Diana, who was about to refute that statement, stopped talking while looking at the corner of Shion’s slightly raised lips.

Sion put down his coffee cup and drew four dots on the map with his finger.

“ According to the information that Eternal Shadow and the Eye of the Moon have learned, there are four ‘Demon Shrines’ in the Demon World. Practically, it is the core area of the core that spreads and maintains magic throughout the Demonic Ward. We hit three of them at the same time.”

Except for the Temple of the Demon King that exists in the abyss, the other demon temples were spread all over the interior of the Demon Station, and Zion was planning to organize them all at once.

“ Then they will have no choice but to come to stop them, and in most cases, there will be representatives among them.”

“ But even with the exception of the innermost one, the other three also seem to be too deep for the Imperial Army to reach within a short period of time.”

Evelyn, who carefully looked at the points that Shion had taken, carefully opened her mouth.

“ No, the entire Imperial Army does not have to go. Only those with the highest military power in the Empire, including the people here, can infiltrate the Demon Temple. The rest of the imperial forces start fighting on the inland borders as we begin our infiltration.”

“ I draw attention as I see it and hit it with a separate wing. It’s kind of a bucket operation.”

“ Right.”

Shion nodded at the answer of the iron-blooded Ga-ju.

Zion had no intention of prolonging this war or moving it according to their intentions.

So, even if you take the risk, you were going to pierce the core of the enemy from the beginning.

‘ Of course, it is possible only with the backing of a certain amount of force… … .’

Zion thought it was enough.

For times like this, we have been collecting and nurturing a lot of talented people, including Riusina and the hero, until now.

“ Hmm… … If we are successful, we will be able to capture the charter perfectly and push into the deepest part of the demonic realm at once.”

The Archmage, Ahhamad Ozrima, who was quietly listening to those words, nodded and agreed.

“ But there is one catch.”

At that time, Groud, who was constantly looking at the map next to him, opened his mouth as if to refute.

“ Even if it is not the deepest abyss, the three temples we are trying to penetrate are all deep inland. Sending a separate wing to that point, and at the same time, seems like it would be difficult. Because there are not one or two people, it seems impossible even with Ahmad-nim or Tyran-nim’s space movement.”

“ Yeah, it must be very difficult as you said.”

Shion, who nodded as if agreeing to him, continued with a smile.

“ But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way.”

Shion’s curved eyes were looking at something beyond the barracks of the meeting.
