The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away - Chapter 213
213 – 75. End of the War (2)
A doll made by Elijah.
It was not just a doll.
It was an artifact.
Even, an artifact that uses Elijah’s own magic.
Judas laughed.
‘I was wondering why you were sending me away alone.’
Even though I have worked separately for a while, this is my first time coming alone.
The reason has just been revealed.
‘I guess he wanted to brag.’
I wanted to brag and be praised.
They created something as amazing as this.
‘More accurately, he probably wanted to show that he was thinking about me this much.’
A doll that not only makes you feel like you’re together even when you’re apart, but can also protect you.
The doll that resembled Elijah himself was an artifact that could truly fulfill its function of ‘protection’.
‘It’s so cute I’m dying.’
It is an unusual item in that it embodies the magic of Elijah.
But the doll was truly exquisite.
Judah knew how to adjust her firepower and magic to suit her desired flow.
‘It’s too much to be a coincidence. Is this also the function Elijah intended?’
Whenever he steps forward and wipes out monsters, he stops at the level of assistance.
However, when it is a bit far away or when dealing with annoying monsters, it actively fires magic.
Starting with golden rays of light, small solar explosions the size of a finger, creating flames in a certain area, etc.
As if reading his thoughts, he uses only the necessary magic appropriately.
‘I don’t know the detailed principles, but….’
Anyway, I should go back and pamper Elijah, Judah thought.
‘Is this coming to an end?’
Within minutes of arriving, he cleared the ground for the United Human Army to advance into.
Originally, Elijah would not have used even 1/10 of this time.
But for the first time in a long time, my still body was moving, and it didn’t feel bad.
‘Hmm.’
What I thought was the end wasn’t just about today’s mission.
This is the beginning of Canaan.
The deepest part of the demon world.
Excluding Canaan, the rest of the Demon World has now been conquered by mankind.
It is a barren land where it is difficult for people to settle down, but there are no monsters that threaten survival itself.
In other words, once this lost sacred site is recovered, the long war will end.
Humanity will completely integrate the Levantine continent.
Judah looked up at the sky among the corpses of monsters.
Compared to the harsh scenery, it is clear and blue.
Elijah did not conquer the demon world for any reason.
Because he wanted to stay with me longer.
Because she wants to give herself a peaceful world.
And I hope that the world that the child we will raise together in the future will step into is safe.
It was a very personal reason.
I was looking forward to seeing what the peace with Elijah would look like.
‘I miss you.’
A brief farewell that lasted less than 10 minutes.
I missed you.
I looked down at the doll.
Even in the mess, the doll maintained its clean, original form.
Black hair, red eyes.
Elijah.
‘I have to go back quickly.’
She went to her own place.
*
“Judas!”
Before Judah returned, Elijah came first.
“Huh? Ellie?”
She appeared out of thin air and stopped right in front of Judah.
She said with a smile.
“I just came because I wanted to see you. “I just couldn’t stand it.”
I lied and waited to be surprised with a gift.
But she could not wait long, so Elijah came first.
“How do you like my gift?”
“What should I say about this?” . “It’s an artifact that embodies Ellie’s magic. It’s amazing in many ways.”
“Are you surprised?”
He asks as if he was hoping to be surprised.
Judah laughed as he looked like a mischievous child.
“Don’t even talk. She was so surprised that suddenly she spewed out golden flames. But why did you make it fire from your mouth?”
“I thought it would be better than snow.”
“… “That’s right.”
Elijah played with his hands.
She couldn’t get any closer because there was blood on her clothes.
The more I regret it, the more persistent I become.
“It’s my gift, made to protect you.”
“Thank you. “I am already protected to the point of indignation on a regular basis, but I never thought a doll like this would play that role.”
“I get worried if I get separated from you even a little bit, and I miss you. And even at this moment when I am looking at you, I miss you so much.”
Even when we are together, I want to be together.
Even though I am looking at it, I still want to see it.
It was an expression that Judah would never remember, but the moment she heard it, it seemed like he knew what she was feeling.
The feelings she has experienced so far have been similar to those of Elijah.
I always hope for and like more, more than yesterday.
What I regretted at this moment was her command of her own language.
She herself did not have a vocabulary as good as Elijah’s.
Seeing herself thinking for a moment, Elijah said, “Pfft!” She did and she laughed.
“It’s cute.”
“… Suddenly?”
“I can see what you’re thinking. “You wanted to say something like me, but it was difficult because you couldn’t think of anything, right?”
“That, uh, um…. “That’s accurate.”
Judas scratched her head in embarrassment.
Looking at him like that, Elijah smiled brightly.
“It’s okay because I know even if you don’t say it. Just thinking about it seriously is enough, and I really like you like that.”
Judah, feeling embarrassed for no reason, cleared his throat and averted his gaze.
She says more and more, and I wonder why she feels embarrassed sometimes when she does this.
When Elijah looked at him like that, she just smiled.
“Go back quickly, wash up, and give me a hug.”
“Yes. “I should do that.”
Before moving.
Elijah cast her gaze into the distance for a moment.
The tall Mount Sinai.
Lost Holy Land, the center of Canaan.
This fall.
Elijah resolved to end her conquest.
*
Military conference room in the imperial palace.
Elijah gathered all the major ministers of present-day mankind.
Large round table.
After checking again that Elijah, who was sitting next to Judas, had all arrived, she said calmly.
“I will end the war.”
When he said he would kill the previous emperor.
And it was a weightless statement, not much different from when he declared that he would take over the Demon World.
But since the speaker was Elijah, it was a statement that could not be taken lightly.
“Within the next three days, I will kill every last monster left in Canaan. The Imperial Guard will quickly follow behind me and clear the way.”
Dylan, who was present at the meeting, nodded his head.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“And the 1st unit of the United Human Army, including the Imperial Knights, follows and leads the later troops.”
In a way, it was unnecessary work.
Elijah can finish off the entire area alone and then climb Mount Sinai.
All you have to do is climb to the place where the primordial being descended to earth and prove that humanity has regained its sacred land.
As a result, greenery will bloom in the land where life cannot live, and milk and honey will flow in the Levant.
According to tradition, it is so.
Nevertheless, Elijah wanted to give a chance to the human race that followed.
‘This is not an achievement game.’
Unite the continent and create a peaceful world.
For Judah.
And for Judah and his new family whom we will meet later.
‘Share the credit and let us all build this world together.’
Elijah knows.
The world is not a place where one can survive alone.
You must get along with others.
So, I plan to create an environment where people can get along well.
This is also the truth that I learned through Judas, who held my hand.
“Do you have any questions?”
No one raised their hand.
“I don’t think there is one. Just disperse.”
The conference room where everyone has left.
Elijah was already sitting on Judah’s lap.
She hugged him and asked.
“You’ll be busy for the next three days, but you’ll be able to keep up, right?”
No matter how busy I was, I had no intention of letting go of Judah.
I hoped he would follow me.
Wherever he goes.
And Judah.
“As much as you want.”
I was ready for that.
“Once the conquest is over, we will have time alone for the two of us, of course.”
Elijah laughed and hugged him to his chest.
“We might not even be able to spend time alone together for three days.”
“… ….”
That was something I hadn’t thought about.
No matter how strong Elijah is, he is ultimately human.
Using magic is exhausting.
Therefore, we had to consider the possibility that we would not have any stamina left to make love.
After a long time, Judah spoke to her chest.
“… “If we shorten the time, what would happen?”
Elijah laughed at those words.
There was absolutely no sense of tension from someone who was about to end the war to conquer the demon world.
“I’ll have to think about that.”
*
Lost sacred place.
Canaan.
Once upon a time the most prosperous city and country.
Land that was taken away by monsters in the past.
And now, the territory has returned to the hands of humanity.
“Whoa…” .”
Collapsed castle ruins.
Judah sighed deeply.
Her breath disperses into white.
She ran without stopping.
The deadline was tighter than Elijah’s calculations.
It was the fault of the monsters hiding underground in Canaan.
It was possible to kill them all at once by collapsing the ground, but then it would be difficult to use Canaan in the future.
Therefore, Elijah chose the cumbersome method of going underground and killing the monsters one by one.
And finally, we managed to conquer it in just 3 days.
The last monster’s neck was just cut off by the moon’s pupil.
“Judas. Great job.”
“You had a hard time. Really.”
If Elijah was in charge of the above ground, Judah was in charge of the underground.
Her magic has excessively strong destructive power.
Just one mistake could cause the ground to collapse, so Judas took charge.
“But Ellie had a harder time than me.”
“I was able to do it thanks to Judas.”
It was true in many senses.
If it weren’t for him, he wouldn’t have been very interested in this conquest.
And thanks to taking the time to make love, even if only briefly, for three days, I was able to replenish my energy even though I was tired.
From noble mtl dot com
“Then let’s say we both worked hard.”
No one could deny that the two people were responsible for this victory.
The two walked side by side holding hands.
The ruins of this collapsed castle were the old Canaanite palace.
The palace just below Mount Sinai was very close to the sanctuary of Mount Sinai.
The steep cliff of Mt. Sinai faces the rear of the palace.
There was a door so big that I had to bend my neck to get in.
The door with elaborate patterns on it has not been used for a long time and has become worn over time.
“… “Is this a door meant to be opened?”
Judas touched the door and muttered.
“It’s so big that a person can’t open it normally…” . Should I break it?”
“Probably not.”
This time Elijah touched her hand.
Golden light rose from her fingertips like fireflies.
Some of that sparkling light seeps into the door.
Move from the point where Elijah’s hands touched to the place where Judah’s hands touched.
The moment the two points met, golden light began to shine, extending along the pattern engraved on the door.
And soon, the door opened by itself.
-Crumbling….
The sound of the huge door being pushed resembles thunder.
Dust fell from above.
Judah reflexively hugged Elijah and protected her head.
‘You don’t have to do that.’
She was in a good mood. Elijah smiled as she fell into his arms.
The door opened and light came inside.
Judah and Elijah stepped beyond.
This is the oldest sanctuary.
It is said to be a place prepared for humans to return someday when the age of mythology ends and the original beings drive out evil spirits.
The spacious sanctuary was empty.
However, there was an altar placed in the depths.
Elijah and Judah approached him.
“What is here?”
“It’s probably the place that has been passed down in folklore. “Starting from this point, milk and honey will flow into the world and all mankind will be prosperous.”
“Um…. But I don’t know what to do.”
“I somehow…. “I think I understand.”
Obligation. Fate.
Like the mission given, Elijah felt it intuitively.
The small sun moved from her hand onto the altar.
The sun that touched the altar turned into light dust and spread in all directions.
The rising light gradually illuminates the dark space.
It floated, then suddenly gathered upward and soared through the ceiling.
Immediately after that, golden rays of light spread out in all directions, centered on the summit of Mt. Sinai.
Grass grew on the land where the light reached.
It had been a long time since the river had flowed, and water ran on the loose sandy bottom.
Trees and flowers grew in the desolate, collapsing mountain range.
Water flows from the valley and spreads out to the plains again.
Judah and Elijah came out of the sanctuary and saw a new demon world overflowing with life.
Moss and grass were growing on the dry ruins of the castle.
“This…” . The miracle of milk and honey flowing….”
A tradition and legend that one day, peace will come to all mankind.
The woman who made it happen was right next to me.
Elijah smiled with satisfaction as he looked at her demonic world overflowing with life.
With this, peace came to the world.
Rather than the emotion and pride of accomplishing something, I was intoxicated with the joy of being able to spend a long time with Yuda.
“Judas.”
“Huh?”
“I love you.”
Judah hugged her.
She held it deeply in her heart.
Just like her, she could do anything for herself, and she did the same for herself.
“I love you a lot too.”
But, it wasn’t over yet.
*
Life bloomed in the dead land.
Elijah conquered her demon world and brought peace to the world.
She truly became a god.
A being that went beyond unifying humanity and gave us infinite abundance that we thought we could never have.
No different from God.
That’s why she was busy even after conquering the demon world.
The fact that people can now live means that cities and countries can be built there.
Meetings continued for several days about how to manage the Demon World, which has now become a human land.
What will we do with the roads, what will we do if we establish a country or city, and what will we do with the migration plan for people?
How long, within what budget, and what goals should be achieved?
The war as emperor did not end easily.
“Canaan is the ancient capital of mankind. We need to rebuild the infrastructure there and make it our new home.”
“But it is evidence of preserved history. As a cultural heritage that should be maintained as is and passed on to future generations….”
“The entire Demon World has been restored to green space, but not all lands are like that. Large areas still exist as ‘deserts’. There are some creatures that live only in the desert. This desert is shaped like it crosses the north and south, and migration is easier if you use the desert….”
Elijah barely managed to come to his senses amid the pouring agenda.
Judas, who was listening to the meeting together, had already given up for a long time.
It was two weeks after the end of the war that the two of them found some leisurely time.
*
“You worked hard….”
“Ugh…. Judas too….”
It’s been a while since I got some rest.
The two were lying dazed on the bed.
“Muaeung-.”
The dust came and rubbed against the owners, whose faces it is difficult to see these days.
“Dust…. Long time no see….”
Elijah muttered as he stroked Dust’s head.
“It feels like I’m seeing you again in two weeks….”
“Every time I come back, I see dust, and when I have time, I also see Yuel and spotted birds…. “It really feels like that.”
The two just lay there in a daze.
The dust that had been touched by Elijah rose up to Judah’s body and took her place.
Feeling the warm weight on his stomach, Yuda smiled and touched the chin of the dust.
Elijah, who was watching her, hesitated and she crawled into his arms.
“Is cuteness starting again?”
Judah hugged her and laughed at her.
“No….”
“No.”
“Hmph…. You know, Judas. “There’s something I want to try with you.”
A vacation that feels like the first time in a long time.
Elijah had a plan.
“Huh? What? Say it.”
“Let’s have a drink with me.”
She had never drunk until she got drunk.
And this time, I wanted to get drunk with Judah.
