Tale of the Fake Hero - Chapter 290



Only Noblemtl

Season 3: Episode 98

Cheongseong’s strategy has always been designed to be a gamble close to tightrope walking in the process of winning or losing.

I don’t mean to criticize.

Even though it was gambling, Cheongseong’s intelligence was to minimize the loss when he had to give and back out and maximize the gains he had to take.

however…….

Compared to the Eldia Myu (04) sealing operation, the operations that Cheongseong has devised so far would not even be considered gambling.

“Yoran, come forward.”

It was the first time that the first princess of the Fairy Kingdom, Yoran El Battenberg, appeared in human history.

“Nice to meet you, Samigles. I am Yoran, the Apostle of the Void.”

In later times, he became an apostle of the Void and fought against the Absolute Abyss together with the warrior Liam and the great hero Charillion.

At first, Camilla couldn’t believe that Yoran was the princess.

Didn’t you dress like a prince, arm yourself like a prince, and comb your hair like a prince?

– Beautiful Miss Samigle.

He even tried to taunt Sharon like this.

Anyway, the Reedwars I met back then was not an apostle of the Void, but rather an eleven-year-old girl whose ears had not yet grown as long as those of other fairies.

Let’s recount Reedworth’s story. As a disciple of Balbray, he learned miracles, but it is said that he was not able to use any miracles until he was ten years old.

In the fairy kingdom, this was considered a very dangerous situation as it was considered evidence of being abandoned by the light.

At that moment of despair, he was chosen as an apostle of the void and grew into a major figure in the history of war.

“I can’t yet fully control the power of the Void, but I can still open a dimensional corridor that leads directly into the depths of the Void.”

“The depths of the void… …?”

“If that’s the case, then Arzen, the Apostle of Void, sealed the Lord of Time… …?”

“Yes, Your Majesty the King intends to use Anridal’s sealing sphere for the operation to seal Eldia Myu (04).”

Everyone’s eyes widened.

Anridal, the Lord of Time.

The were barely sealed by the Void Apostle Arzen and the Red Flame Akira during the 16th century incident.

The price was by no means small.

Just like Cheongseong now, or even more seriously, Hongyeon’s Akira has been left out of the center of history for 100 years.

Everyone agrees that if Hongyeon’s Akira had been alive and well, the ‘Black Summer’ would not have come.

“Anridal’s seal is a double structure. First… … the first curtain is formed by the red flames piercing the core… … and the power of the void surrounds it.”

“… … !”

“After removing the Void Barrier… … we must neutralize Lucael and place him between the flames and the Void. Immediately afterwards, regenerate the Void Barrier… … .”

Everyone felt the chill of a cold sweat without even realizing that their mouths were open.

A tightrope walk match with a one-point difference.

If anything goes wrong, it won’t just stop at stopping Lucas, but will also unleash Anridal upon the world.

“For this operation… … we need a carrier for the seal.”

“Uncle, I will do it.”

“You have another mission. And it is not you or me who decides the carrier. It is up to the Lord of the Void to decide… … .”

Apostle of Void, insects crawled out from the tips of Yoran’s fingers.

It was enough to make Sharon gasp.

At first glance, they looked like bees, but they were dark green servant horses with six eyes, and they were like symbols of the Apostles of the Void.

Booooooooooo… … .

The void worms flew all at once.

Passing by Fairy King Saoro, passing by the first Payqueer Mate, and ignoring all the executives, the owner of the head where the Voidlings landed was… … a girl who completely surpassed everyone’s expectations.

Camilla Flower.

“Uncle, Kami doesn’t have the skills to do that yet… …!”

As everyone looked at Camilla in bewilderment, Laminea spoke up.

Already in his head, the overwhelming helplessness of Lucas that he had met back then was unfolding like a cliff.

Camilla is strong, she has become stronger, but compared to Lucas… … that one slaughter would tear apart all of her body and soul, leaving no trace.

“Uncle, I will do this mission. Please let me do it.”

Camilla also witnessed the results of hundreds of delusions in which she was torn to pieces by Lucas.

But I took a deep breath.

He wiped the cold sweat from his palms on his clothes and vibrated his vocal cords to say that.

“Transporting the Seal Ball… is a task that requires risking one’s life. It requires getting close to Lucas. Aren’t you afraid…?”

What the Master said on the day of the first battle flashes through my mind.

“I’m scared, I’m scared. I’m scared, but I won’t say I’m scared.”

Everyone is scared.

Everyone is afraid.

“I don’t want to run away because I’m scared.”

But we overcome that fear and move forward. We show everyone our overcoming efforts. Because we are warriors.

“That’s what I’ve seen and learned so far, a brave man.”

He says, placing his trembling hand over his heart.

That is, a girl’s confession.

That day, it was that confession that brought a smile to the faces of all the heroes, regardless of their clans.

“And if I run away and do not do the work assigned to me here, I will be ashamed to face those who saved my life and died… … .”

Lamine’s eyes were wet with tears. Floret put a hand on her shoulder and patted her back. Sharon stepped forward and raised her hand.

“Permission to speak.”

Originally, it was a place where disciples were forbidden from speaking, but Cheongseong allowed it.

“Your Majesty, as you know, Camilla is brave but has no brains, so I think she will be lacking in exploiting Eldia’s weaknesses.”

“What are you trying to say?”

“I would appreciate it if you would allow me to help Camilla. Two is better than one, isn’t that the age-old truth?”

The hero I saw and learned, the end of ‘Black Summer’ (3)

The strait where the Ranoa Bridge is located appears to be the border between the human world and the demon world.

One of Neigalas’ two powers, the Sandstorm, erodes the target and instantly weathers it.

In short, everything south of the bridge was dry and twisted, and had no sign of civilization.

“Ro she tas… … .”

High Kun Tark 2nd place, Kiral.

The Kiranzuki Gaga is comprised of the six best warriors among them.

As the leader, Renkuji, the ‘Roar of the Sands’, who leads the wolf cavalry, climbed onto the sand dunes and pulled on Blashurp’s reins.

Renkuji watched intently beyond the Ranoa Bridge, then took out a trumpet from his waist and blew it powerfully.

Srrrrrrrrrrrr… … .

Strangely enough, the trumpet did not produce sound but a sandstorm, and this was no ordinary wind either.

It is an echo of power.

It was a storm of power that conveyed the message of the Lizard Lord, Naigalas, to his minions.

[Prey captured.]

A sandstorm spread across the battlefield, kicking up dust across the horizon as Neygalath’s minions raced forward.

[This is Shitairin.]

The Undying Citarine, a sorcerer directly below the Necron High Priest Falk-Sha, responded.

[All primitive units, begin advancing.]

An entity that shook the ground made up of volcanic ash and sand with just one footstep, causing the sand to flow down.

The ten strongest troll tribes, Shipseokdu.

The Oukan of the Sandstone World, ‘Skull Crusher’, answered.

[Crackbone, departing.]

In the same ten-stone-headed, Oukan of the Yongseok-gye (鎔石界) also increased the speed at which he led the ogres and trolls under his command.

[Destroyer Sveite, on the way.]

Above the volcanic ash-filled skies, the screams and flapping wings of the ancient beast, Tuaki, shake the earth.

High Kun Tark 5th place.

Ogin, the ‘Desert Bat’, the leader of the Kaltquerin Clan.

[Ogin goes first.]

There was also a being who lay in a more arrogant posture than anyone else on a palanquin carried by slaves, blood slaves who manipulated with the blood of corruption.

Bloodline, the Five Great Star Clans.

Rickeva, head of the Tsuidenen family.

One of the two great families of the Five Great Clans that directly obey the orders of Naigalas (the other three families serve Anridal).

[I, Rickeva, say that the army of blood is also on the march.]

And then, there was a clan with more ships than all those armies combined… …marching, shaking the entire horizon.

High Kun Tark 2nd place.

Zkan, the ‘Fox of the Wilderness’, the leader of the Kiral Clan.

[Kiral Main Unit sortie! Infinite glory to His Majesty Negalas!]

And in the midst of all those waves of evil, ‘it’ advances, spewing out nightmares… … .

The ‘thing’ that distorts the boundary between life and death of things that have not yet been eroded by the abyss and makes everything kneel before the king is the king’s echo.

Mauna Loa, the incarnation of kings.

“A demon of the incarnation class has appeared! Leading a great army of demons, they are approaching the Ranoa Bridge! Their numbers are estimated to be between 3 and 4 million!”

In that way, the news that the first group of demons had approached the Ranoa Bridge was relayed to the Unified Command via beacons and brain echo resonance.

The core of the first group was the second (currently provisional first) of the High Kun Tark, Kiral. They boasted the largest size among all the Uruk tribes, and at the time, the number of warriors in the tribe alone exceeded 1 million.

The vanguard… … It was clear that the wolf cavalry operating the Blashurp had been running without rest to prevent their prey from escaping.

“The bridge defense forces will board the locomotives one by one and form a formation towards the Ranoa Bridge… … .”

While the remaining forces were busy moving, Camilla had to move deep into the void corridor that Yoran had opened.

“Kami!”

In the midst of all this urgency, Laminea called Camilla.

There are so many things I want to say, so many things I want to do that are wider than the ocean, but I just don’t have the time.

Laminea’s right hand touched Camilla’s heart. Through her fingertips, a huge amount of magical power flowed in, enough to make the blood vessels in her entire body tremble dizzily.

“Master, what is this…?”

“It’s okay since I have Aradmantel anyway. I need this much magical power to deal with Eldia.”

“But, but I can’t accept this much… … Even the Master has to deal with the level of the Incarnation!”

“It’s okay. It’s nothing compared to the gift Kami gave me.”

“It’s not okay! Take it back─”

“─Instead, can you promise me two things? One is that when Kami becomes a greater warrior than me, he will give his heart and magical power to his disciple. And the other is… … .”

As a teacher, I wanted to give you a cool, beautiful, and lastly strong smile, and I should have given you one.

The wrinkles that should have been a smile are… … .

It gradually distorted and took on the appearance of crying. Laminea’s entire body shook quietly as she hugged her disciple and pressed their foreheads together.

“Don’t die, Kami, don’t die, absolutely don’t die… … .”

Camilla’s cries, which she had been suppressing with fear and courage, burst out, no longer suppressed. Hot streams of water flowed from her eyes.

“Master, please don’t die, please don’t ever die, so, so, definitely… … we’ll meet again.”

At that moment, I heard the sound of a dimension being torn apart nearby, and the wind from the subspace hit my skin, sending goosebumps down my entire body.

The corridors of emptiness have opened.

At about the same time, a steam locomotive’s ferocious whistle rang out from the platform.

“We must move before the corridor closes. Miss Samigle Carrier. Don’t be afraid, I will escort you. Come here.”

Yoran and Delfred’s voices were heard half simultaneously from both sides.

“Laminea! The departure preparations are complete, and all of the Red Lotus Corps, except for the Suin Corps assigned to the punitive force, are on board! Come quickly!”

I want to hug you more, I want to hear your voice more, but my consciousness, knowing that I shouldn’t, controls my body’s movements.

still…….

still…….

A body that cannot follow reason keeps on refusing to let go of the most precious thing in the world… … .

‘Ah, so this is why when you become a paycheck, you have to abandon your family and lover… … .’

But, since his disciple had said such wonderful things in front of everyone earlier, he could not show himself in a worse light as a teacher.

Laminaria withdrew her hand.

With the hand that had been holding her and then pulling her in, he pushed her shoulder and back towards her.

“Go, Kami. See you later.”
