Bolund’s knight commander, Felnox Bolund, who had followed Breccino, stood up.

And Selentia’s magic commander, Elassiya Selentia.

The two of them could not understand the current situation at all.

It was only natural, since they had just been in the midst of worrying about how to win the territorial battle.

They had suddenly fainted, and when they opened their eyes, they were dumped unceremoniously in an empty space.

“Elassiya Selentia, you did this!”

At that moment, Felnox, who had been accused of belatedly discovering Elassiya, was shouted at.

He thought that she, as the magic commander, had done this.

“Me? If it were me, I wouldn’t be this close to a knight.”

Elassiya revealed a haughty look, as if to say that he shouldn’t talk nonsense.

Unable to deny her words, Felnox discovered Breccino.

“Then, commoner, you did this…”

He tried to shout, but his voice gradually lowered.

As if his words were not being heard.

He wondered about Breccino’s attitude, who was staring at a single spot as if he couldn’t hear anything.

Felnox’s gaze turned to follow Brechinor’s.

And there, in the direction his eyes had fallen, was a man.

A man whose presence was strangely faint.

He gazed upon the three of them with an expression of leisure.

“So, have you finished your talk?”

At last, the three had fallen silent.

Into that silence,

Felnox was the first to react.

“Did you bring the three of us here?”

“Captain of Valtoa, what do you think? Do you intend to answer my proposal from now on?”

Habell asked, not paying Felnox any mind.

Felnox’s face twisted with fury, but Habell took no notice.

“……Can you extend the same proposition to these two?”

Felnox asked, with forced politeness.

Habell let out a light laugh.

‘He means to decide after seeing the reactions of the other two.’

He was a cautious fellow, as befitting the leader of a group.

“Very well. So be it. I extend my proposition to you two. I hear that each of you holds a key to summon the master of this island.”

Felnox and Ellasia, too, realized what Habell was getting at.

“I shall grant the right to rule this island to the first to hand over that key. I shall spare the life of the next to speak. As for the last,”

Habell did not finish.

He merely let his laughter express what he meant.

Ellasia fell into thought.

As befitting the leader of a magic guild, her mind worked quickly.

She knew that magic had not been used to kidnap her and bring her here.

That meant, in other words,

that Habell had forcibly abducted her from Celentia.

And from a region of Celentia heavily populated by sorcerers, at that.

Therefore, Ellasia chose, for the moment, to remain silent.

“What nonsense are you spouting?”

Felnox, on the other hand, was a man of hasty temperament.

A man of fiery disposition, he placed great importance on his authority.

For that reason, he could not abide being patronized by Habell, who was considerably younger than himself.

“Do you know who I am, to do such a thing?”

“That’s why I’m asking you where the keys are, you simpleton.”

Habell openly ignored him, picking his ear.

“You insolent whelp!”

Finally unable to stomach the situation, he raised his hand.

In that instant, a lance shaft appeared in Felnox’s hand.

It was the armament lance he carried, which he could summon at will.

He twisted the window and kicked the floor.

Having reached the 6th stage, he had achieved the level of Orgardner.

The red aura split into six branches.

It was the symbol of the Boland family.

“I guess you’re rejecting my offer.”

Pelnox had no intention of listening to Habell’s offer from the start.

Unlike Breccino, he wasn’t interested in ruling the Sheer Cliff Island.

The Boland family controls the island’s owner, Akjae.

That alone would allow them to trade with numerous families.

So, what he wanted could be said to be the same as Habell’s.

The reason he wanted to have the three keys was to take over the island.

‘He’s definitely either a sorcerer or a warlock.’

Unlike Ellasia, Pelnox judged Habell to be a warlock.

That was because he couldn’t sense an ounce of aura from him.

Warlocks are weak in close combat.

He quickly made a judgment and immediately closed the distance with Habell.

‘The six spears are illusions. I’ll see how this guy reacts to the spears and judge him.’

He certainly has a fiery personality.

But before that personality.

There’s the life he’s lived as the commander of Boland’s knights.

His fiery personality can easily lead him to make mistakes.

So, what he chose to do was to use that fiery personality.

Outwardly, he would vent his anger, while inwardly, he would remain calm.

And within that calmness, he would think of countermeasures.

This was Pelnox’s forte.

It was proof that he wasn’t fighting a power struggle with the other two for nothing.

But unfortunately.

There was one thing he had never experienced before.

The act of an ant lifting its front legs to challenge its opponent.

For the strong, it is simply punished by being crushed.

“One down.”

Clang!

The six illusions shattered simultaneously, and the sound of something breaking rang out.

Kwaang!

Soon, something had flown out and smashed into the forest trees.

Breccino and Ellasia looked in that direction with hardened faces.

There was Pelnox with a bent spear and a caved-in stomach.

“Cough, cough.”

He vomited blood as if he was going to die, and soon his body trembled as he lost consciousness.

The bodies of the two people stiffened.

For half a year, they had been engaged in a fierce power struggle with Pelnox.

And now, in an instant, he lay on the brink of death.

Breccino and Ellasia hadn’t even seen what Havel had done.

They could only see that he had raised his arm belatedly.

A monster.

An otherworldly monster stood before them.

Ellasia, who had been trying to resist, even a little, in accordance with Pelnox’s situation,

Now, at this moment, she will completely crumble.

In the midst of such chaos.

“Baltoua will offer the key.”

Breccino was the first to speak.

“Damn it!”

Ellasia realized that her judgment had been too slow.

Her caution in trying to figure out what Havel was doing had turned into poison.

Her eyes are wavered.

If Havel’s words were true, she would lose the island right now.

“Wait a minute! Celentia owns other islands too!”

She had noticed what Havel was thinking when he said he would give them control of the island.

He intended to clear the hierarchy and rise through the ranks.

In other words, he wasn’t interested in the byproducts of the island.

The magical family Celentia valued the island’s byproducts.

She had no intention of dealing with the families as the island’s owner, like Pelnox.

In that case, rather than handing over the Tiered Cliff Island,

It would be better to hand over the ownership of the other islands that Celentia possessed.

Breccino glanced sharply at Ellasia.

It was because he had never expected her to take such a loss.

Breccino’s face hardened, and Ellasia smiled wryly.

Meanwhile, Havel descended from the rock.

Ellasia assumed that he would accept her offer.

Breccino, on the other hand, was disappointed.

“The deal remains the same.”

However, the response he gave was completely different.

Ellasia, who was judging rationally, was taken aback.

“Yes, yes? I said I’d let you take ownership of our other islands!”

“Yes, I’ll accept that offer. It’ll be enough to cover the cost of your life.”

“Wait, that’s not what you said! You clearly said you’d spare the second person…”

As she spoke, her eyes began to waver.

Havel had said that he would spare the next person who spoke.

However, he had no intention of sparing the last person to speak.

Pelnox, who was supposed to be the last one, had lost consciousness.

She didn’t know if he was dead or alive.

So, the last one to speak was Elasia.

It was sophistry if it was sophistry.

However, it was the strong who could do that sophistry as they were pleased.

She trembled with humiliated eyes.

But there was nothing she could do.

She just had to be relieved that she had barely survived.

At least if they were opponents she could deal with, she would have clung to them.

The difference in their levels was too great, so she couldn’t do anything.

“Bring me both keys.”

Habell said so and moved.

Then he lightly lifted up Felnox’s collapsed body.

“I’ll go to Boland.”

The two of them realized what those words meant and kept their mouths shut.

That meant that the Boland family would disappear from the island today.

The two of them felt a creepy feeling when they realized that it could have been them.

“Cel, Celentia will pull out of the Layered Cliff Island.”

Elasia said quickly, just in case Habell changed his mind.

Breccino felt a sense of wonder.

He never thought he would gain control of the island like this.

He quietly thought that human life is truly unpredictable.

* * *

Habell then dealt with the Boland family.

Dealing with Boland wasn’t particularly difficult.

“Hey, wake up.”

“Ugh, cough!”

Felnox, who had been slapped in the face by Habell, opened his eyes.

His stomach was surprisingly damaged near the point of death, but it had already recovered.

It was thanks to one of the medicines Habell always carried.

“Hic!?”

He screamed when he met Habell’s eyes.

Because he had been to the brink of death and returned.

That’s why he looked like a grim reaper.

“Felnox Boland.”

Habell called his name and lightly released his arm.

“Are you going to do more?”

Felnox’s face turned blue and he flinched.

The meaning of this was simple.

He returned to Boland’s forces and brought the key to call the master of the island.

He immediately ordered the Knights to retreat.

“Captain, what do you mean?”

“Why should we retreat!”

The knights voiced their complaints, but Felnox was forced to retreat.

You should be grateful that you’re alive.

If you don’t leave this island immediately, you’ll be killed.

Deep inside his mind.

The name Banpellion was strongly engraved.

He remembered it clearly.

At that moment he heard the name Banpellion.

He knew he had to run away.

Like that, about a day after Havel landed on the Layered Cliffs Island.

Both Boland and Celentia had completely retreated from the island.

The Baltoua Alliance, which had won an unexpected victory, was taken aback.

“Have Celentia and Boland retreated?”

“W, w, why?”

They were happy about the victory but wondered about the reason.

Breccino, who knew the truth, swallowed a bitter smile as he watched them.

Like that, at the point when Havel gathered the three keys.

Finally, the ship of the Golden Generation arrived at the Layered Cliffs Island.

Penbola, who had hurriedly climbed the Layered Cliffs with the Alliance members, was bewildered.

Two of the three forces that had been reported to her were gone.

And the culprit was.

“Oh, you’re here?”

It was none other than Havel, who had acted unilaterally not long ago.

As proof, Havel held the three keys tightly in his hand.

Not only that, he was shamelessly eating the breakfast that Baltoua had prepared.

“…Havel, can you explain what happened?”

Penbola asked Havel for an explanation.

When she heard through Baria that Havel had gone first, she was shocked.

But it was even more shocking that he had finished the job before they arrived.

Because of that, Penbola, who always remained calm, was very flustered.

“You were too late, so I did it all.”

Havel said casually, as if he had just done what he had to do.

His reaction was as if he had done something trivial.

The Layered Cliffs Island was supposed to be the first battle of the Golden Generation.

Havel had finished the battle in one day.

At this rate, it wouldn’t be the Golden Generation’s name that would be known.

It would only be the names of Havel and Banpellion that would resonate.

The Golden Generation would become nothing more than a side dish to him.

Fenbola shut his mouth.

He had a vague idea that Habell was strong.

However, his strength far exceeded Fenbola’s expectations.

From noble mtl dot com

This wasn’t just strong.

He was off the charts.

‘I thought he was a goose that laid golden eggs.’

He wasn’t a goose; he was a dragon.

A dragon that could destroy the house called the Golden Generation.

“Let’s hurry up and go. This is a waste of time.”

Habell trudged along, carrying the luggage on his back.

He was going to hunt the lord of the island.

As if he were going out for a walk.

“….Bariat, did I make a mistake?”

Fenbola asked Bariat, who was next to him.

Bariat didn’t answer.

He had thought it was a mistake from the moment he met Habell.

Fenbola clenched his fists.

Then he ran to Habell’s side and stood there.

“Habell is right. Let’s hurry up and kill the master, and then go to the next island.”

He gestured for the Golden Generation to follow.

Somehow, Habell would definitely become the eye of the storm.

A dragon had already devoured him.

Even if his stomach burst, he had to surrender to the storm.

No matter what the outcome.

Habell, seeing Fenbola’s will, grinned.

‘Do whatever you can.’

That way, you won’t regret it when you fail.
