305 – Last Moment (1)
[That’s how it happened. That’s what we experienced in the Arctic. It’s hard for me to believe it, but it’s all true.]
The dragon stood on the spire with its wings spread and muttered. He put down the coffin he had carried all the way here and swung his arm to open the lid. The body in the coffin made of ice was smiling. He looked more like someone in a deep sleep than a dead person.
[And I, what we saw was never a lie. The being created in that way passed away and closed its eyes receiving heaven’s blessing.]
As soon as she returned to her island, her father and daughter, who were curious about her situation, asked her about what had happened. The dragon, who was very taken with the two who did not show off their prestige as emperor and princess but treated them like ancestors, spoke of all the things he had seen without showing any sign of fatigue.
“It couldn’t have been a lie. “Because you came to see me too.”
After Ardene von Illumina heard the whole story, she sighed and muttered. Why was her daughter calmer than expected even after hearing all these stories? When the emperor found out the reason, he closed his eyes, nodded his head, and opened his mouth.
“I heard that you were the person who was closest to this priest during his lifetime. Your Majesty Roca. How will you hold the funeral? If you wish, I will spread the word about everything this person did to save the world and give him a grand funeral. “I will announce to the people of the continent who saved the continent.”
Emperor. Although he is called that name because he is the monarch of the most powerful and legitimate country on the continent, he is not above the king. The monarchs who rule each country are independent of each other and are considered equal to each other.
Roka, who held the position of Beast King, became a person worth respecting. Due to her skills, cause, and position, this girl had the authority over how to treat the deceased.
“I will take you to her hometown. “I will bury it there.”
[How can earthly blessings help someone who has received all of heaven’s blessings? I think that would be better too. This system is not his place to be buried. It is right to return to one’s hometown.]
And since Roka decided to bury Kyle’s body in Pumpkin Vine Village, there was no one who could refute that decision. He was even more so when the dragon even agreed.
“If it’s that hometown, the hero, Yurinel Rakponsia, probably knows about it. She says she’s from the same village as this priest, and she’s been adventuring with him for a while, so she probably knows the way too. Your Majesty Roca. If she needs anything, I can take her as her guide. “I will give the order.”
“Abama. Will the church agree to this? “The hero is not a member of our imperial family…”
“Now she has lost her power and is worthless. Her cult no longer cares about her, so they won’t care how we treat her. There…”
He glanced at Roka and responded with a bitter smile.
“If the denomination wants to refute this, tell them to try it somewhere. “If you have the courage to do so.”
When Rayman and Geher saw Roka who returned, they recognized him as their superior. Victory and defeat were confirmed without even touching swords once.
This was the first time since Demon Lord Grimudo that they, who were grand masters in name, showed such a lack of confidence. For the emperor, it was a huge shock in its own way.
“You said he was a former colleague of yours…?”
And it was quite surprising that they still called this priest master. Normally, a person that strong would have an oversized ego, so they would not even care about the emperor or the emperor.
“Then, I would like to meet you.”
“Then, Your Majesty, I will also go to the saint’s hometown with you.”
“Do it. “Then all that remains is to call that hero here…”
In a truly timely fashion, I began to hear pounding noises coming from across the hallway. With a loud noise that shook the hallway, the fat chamberlain, out of breath, burst open the door and came in.
The fact that he skips knocking and behaves so rudely means that there is definitely a good reason. Instead of reprimanding him, the emperor simply watched him quietly.
“Heo-eok, heo-eok, Your Majesty. That is, wow… hehehehe…”
And it gave me some time to catch my breath. Only then was the man, who had been out of breath and sweating profusely, able to get his report out.
“Something big has happened, big trouble!”
“Why are there giant lumps of flesh coming to the islands again?”
“Oh, no! It’s not that big of a deal. I don’t know what happened, but they say the warrior party suddenly regained their strength. Even the holy sword reappeared!”
Is that something that needs to be reported in such a fuss? Everyone thought so for a while, but you have to listen to the end to hear what people say. The chamberlain continued, wiping sweat with his hands.
“And it is said that he is currently having a quarrel with Maje Harmael, a guest of the Empire. “The fact that they are confronting each other with their swords drawn is threatening to lead to a sword fight!”
If this report had come a day earlier, I might have acted embarrassed.
The emperor only smiled as he looked at the three travelers who had just arrived at the island today.
“I will leave it to Her Highness to persuade her.”
At this, the wolf slightly nodded his head.
“Do you want me to help you?”
Yanid asked from the side, but the girl just shook her head instead of answering.
It was enough on my own.
*****
No matter how smart and good you are, there is someone better than you somewhere in the world.
When she was young, her mother always said that. But Yurinel never sympathized with those words. No matter where you look in the world, there is no one with greater talent than you.
It may be said that I live for my own good taste, but that is the truth. In her eyes, there was only one person who had greater talent than her. That ancient devil is everything.
But in many senses, he was no longer human, so among humans, he at least prided himself on being the best. But that confidence and arrogance were shattered as if hit with a hammer.
“What is this…? “Is this a power that a human can produce?!”
The entire sky turned red, and the blazing sun filled the sky. In the suffocating heat, the people who had been fighting for a while stopped moving and looked at the sky at the same time, without worrying about who was first. Because I knew that winning or losing this fight was no longer important.
I have met the warrior party, the demon Harmael, and the demon lord Grimudo. I once fell into the dense darkness that he gave off.
Although the majesty of the sun does not reach that level, it is everything. No one expected that it would be possible for a being other than Grimudo to emit this level of force.

“Damn humans, how dare you call something like that! I didn’t trust you guys from the beginning! “You were planning to trap me and kill me from the beginning!”
Harmael, who was screaming inside, glared at the warrior party with an angry expression. The guys who came at him as a guest of the empire to take revenge on him for what happened in the past were ridiculous, but that monster was beyond absurd.
How can there be two beings in the world with such power? No matter how well-balanced and powerful his dragon magic power was, it seemed like he would be no match for his opponent.
“Let’s wait and see, I will definitely repay this grudge!”
What on earth is that beastly girl? Could this be the Epirna of the Eastern Plains that I had only heard about? No, that didn’t matter anymore. She never intended to seek revenge against such a monster, so it was okay to not know who it was. No, I wanted to not know for the rest of my life!
If I can return to the Demon World safely, I will put aside the bullsh*t like unification of the continent and live a satisfied life as the Emperor of the Demon World.
Thinking so, she flew at her top speed and escaped, but the next moment, Roca opened her palm. Then, the image of the full moon flashed above it, emitting cold light and gravitational force.
“Uh, uh…?”
It heads forward, but moves backwards. The woman looked scared when she saw that the background around her was moving in exactly the opposite direction than she thought, but it was too late.
When she came to her senses, she felt her hand grabbing her shoulder. When his hand grasped her shoulder tightly, she felt a surge of fear that threatened to stop her heart.
“Oh, it hurts…!”
“Ah…”
There was a cracking sound and the sound of her shoulder blade being dislocated, and before she knew it, her arm was in tatters. Roka looked at what she had done with her wide, dilated eyes.
So… I never meant to do this! I just wanted to catch that woman. But it seems like she unknowingly put too much force on her body…
“I’m sorry. I made a mistake. “By any chance, is Yurinel Lacponcia an aunt?”
The sullen wolf let go of his arm and asked. As a result, Harmael felt more dazed than sick. No, he wasn’t after him from the beginning?
He even suspected that it was a highly deceptive operation, but there was no reason to think so. If he was coming for her, all he had to do was pull out the sword he was wearing next to her waist and hit her while she was lying.
So, most likely, it is true that what happened was due to illusion and misunderstanding…
“Yurinel is that b*tch, you idiot…”
She was about to spit out her curse when she came to her senses and quickly swallowed her words. The demons strictly follow the principle of the law of the fittest.
She saw the power of Loka with her own eyes and experienced it on her own shoulders. So I didn’t dare to get angry here. It would be unfair even if she died if I uttered one of her curse words and her head was blown off as well.
“Urinel Lacponsia?”
“No. “I think I saw the wrong person.”
With her lightning-fast speed, Yuri Nell swung her holy sword and slowly retreated behind her. Parnell and Lucia also swallowed her saliva. I felt very unlucky today!
“I said I shouldn’t do that. How many times have I told you that attacking Harmael is a handshake!”
“I knew I shouldn’t do it in her head. But I wanted to do it.”
“It was because of that b*tch that something happened to us, and I felt like I would die of injustice if I didn’t pay her back.”
Is that a monster that came out of nowhere? They were people who had heard that they were geniuses, but that wolf beastman seemed to be young, but his skills surpassed them.
This is an area that can no longer be called talent.
“That b*tch! That b*tch is the hero Yurinel Lakponcia! “Go ahead and catch that woman!”
“I don’t know where the Saihan demons are lying! “Is there any proof that I am a hero?”
“That’s terrible! Do you see the sword she’s wearing? That’s the holy sword. It is a sword of annihilation that emits a brilliant light. Once you pull it out, you’ll know right away. “Who told lies!”
Sreung!
At the same time as those words ended, the holy sword rose up. The brilliant sword body was revealed as is. The holy sword trembled and resisted the external force that grabbed him, but his resistance was meaningless.
You can control someone else’s sword by pulling it out of its sheath! It was a shocking fact, but even that didn’t seem important right now. Roka’s eyes narrowed when she saw the shining sword body.
“Why did you lie…?”
“Go ahead, hurry!”
“Eh, eh, eh, Elemental Furnishment!”
Parnell was so surprised that he hiccuped as he chanted, and immediately used the most powerful magic he had prepared. Fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning. The five elements resonated and their power increased, but at that moment, the blazing sun in the sky radiated even stronger power and shook as if exploding.
The infinite magic power of the sun overpowered the five elements with pure power and swallowed them up. It consumed fire, melted ice, tore apart the wind, shattered the earth, and pushed away lightning.
Sparkle!
At the same time, Chamryundo Island, which had not yet arrived, passed right over the heads of the group, emitting cool sunset light. The feeling of the lines of the sunset, containing the power of twilight and destruction, passing through my hair was not pleasant, to say the least.
“Why did you lie?”
“Yes, I am Eurinel Lacponsia. “I’m sorry I tricked you!”
With this one blow, they could have been annihilated. Yuri Nell, who had finally felt this, sighed and raised his hands in surrender. There was nothing more that could be done.
“I should have prepared some teleportation magic.”
Seeing the vision of the Citadel royal family being trampled on an unbelievable level, Parnell muttered a word with a dejected expression. You don’t know where that crazy wolf came from.
No, just a moment.
When I think of a wolf, something comes to mind.
“By any chance is your name Roca…?”
The girl’s ears perked up.
