241. Three-way battle
“Has it arrived in the end?”
Ruaneth looking down at me from above the Spirit King. He sighed but reacted calmly, as if he knew this would happen.
Judging by the fact that they worked hard to destroy the warp marker, they must have tried their best to prevent me from coming.
“How did you know we were gathering here?”
The answer to the question was simple.
This forest is where Dante’s final episode takes place.
I told the Geronian and Bright families to bring in troops waiting near Rometiu Forest in advance.
Because I knew that this was the place they would eventually come to.
But since it’s a game, I can’t answer that I knew, so I come up with a more reasonable excuse.
“I just thought that a spirit would be needed to confirm the consequences of the act of annihilating all souls on the continent.”
“Yes, I did. “You were a necromancer too.”
Ruanes and Dante said that all souls must be destroyed to save the continent.
Getting rid of the old dead and allowing the new dead to lie down on the continent again.
That was Ruaneth’s method, and in the game, you have to guide it to success so you don’t get a bad ending.

In the end, it meant that the necromancer named Ruanes was inevitable in the progression and ending of the game.
But is it really possible to just destroy the soul of the continent?
As I am also researching the same field, I can confidently say that it is impossible.
“It destroys not the soul, but all spiritual beings. “That, to be precise, is your plan.”
Starting with the dead.
Even guardian deities such as the spirit of the Rometiu Forest or the mountains of the North Weden Mountains.
It was Ruaneth’s method to wipe out all spiritual beings from this continent.
“I think it is a good exchange price for the salvation of the continent.”
“You could think of it that way.”
It was Luanes who responded with a look of shock at my unimpressed answer.
“The way you said it is so hopeful.”
Create a place.
A world after death where the dead can lie anew.
“The idea is to create a place where the gods of religion welcome.”
It is known that when believers of the god Velas die, they go to his palace and hold a banquet full of luxury and pleasure.
Believers of Goddess Hertia become beloved angels.
Devotees of the goddess Justia enjoy happy and peaceful times in the arms of her goddess.
Believers of the god Raizer walk on the clouds and become falling thunder to drive away evil.
The afterlife.
Making it would have been a problem that could not be ignored even from the perspective of the religious world.
I had no intention of looking into what the gods thought.
“Do you mean to create a world of the dead and become a god?”
Ruaneth is quite awkwardly sarcastic. It was so incomprehensible to his own common sense that his head seemed not to work properly.
“It’s not like God.”
God is a being who judges and decides by setting standards.
Blessings to the good, judgment to the evil.
Even in the case of heaven and hell, which are the most famous afterlife at the moment. It was a place where people were divided depending on whether or not they had sins during their lifetime.
The standard of sin was solely based on the perspective of the Bible.
“I don’t judge.”
There is no punishment or reward.
It was just a matter of giving a place to sleep.
Besides that, I don’t do anything to them.
“Whoa.”
Is it because he thought he was being dragged into the conversation? While receiving attention from other warlocks, Luanes takes a deep breath and changes the subject.
“Why are you doing this? It is most reasonable and stable to just destroy it. “It’s for the future of the continent.”
Now it’s persuasion.
I felt like a student trying to convince me that his way was not wrong.
“The souls who have entered into rest will never wake up. “It’s not much different from annihilation.”
“I should have said it last time too. “It is the last trace left by those who lived as humans.”
“… ….”
“The traces left behind by many people who lived fierce lives. “Proof that you have lived on this continent.”
A history book of the continent.
Those were the souls who had died and had their eyes closed.
“Ruanes Luden Griffin.”
When I called his full name, Gloria and Tyrn behind me were surprised.
Continue talking without paying attention.
“Show the dead a minimum of respect.”
They, too, are the ones who have walked the path we are currently walking.
But Ruanes still looked like she couldn’t accept my words.
“We are the same necromancer. “I saw the deaths and after-deaths of countless people.”
Smoke rising from Ruaneth’s entire body began to spew out in all directions.
That is his soul.
It was a type of necromancy practiced by Ruanes, who had lived for hundreds of years, using his own soul.
“But the opinions are so different.”
“On the other hand, there are people who lose the weight and attachment to life because they are closest to death.”
On the contrary.
“There are people who feel that life is more noble because they are close to death.”
Even if you see the same thing, you feel different.
In the end, we will argue that each other’s way is more correct, and there will be no conclusion without one of us being defeated.
Cow!
Ruaneth flies towards me from the front, emitting smoke.
Before I could react separately, Findeneye had already stepped in between us and swung Snow White.
Quaaang!
“I didn’t like you since last time.”
Even though Snow White was blocked by white smoke, Finden Eye did not hesitate. She had already seen the way Ruanes fought at Gray Pond.
She pushes Luanes away with even more force.
Ruaneth landed softly, surrounded by smoke. The warlocks either raised their mana or rushed in to assist him behind him.
“Is it okay to kill everyone?”
I shook my head at her curious question.
“Ruaneth must not be killed. “We need to take away the magic stone he has.”
“…… !”
Ruaneth’s eyes widen at my words. The magic power he has gathered so far to annihilate all souls on the continent.
From what I saw in the game, it appears that magic was handled using a huge magic stone, so it was probably hidden somewhere.
“I know even that.”
Ruaneth purses her lips and glares at me with hateful eyes.
“I understand for now.”
Finden Eye places Snow White on her shoulder and slowly turns her head towards me. She makes an annoyed, glaring look on her face.
“Let’s talk about it later.”
Finden Eye’s complaints, as he still remembers the wall slam incident in his mind.
But she couldn’t answer that question separately. Before I could open her mouth, Finden Eye was blown up by her flying fist and pushed behind her.
“Sseu-eup, even the maid’s uniform and face are completely to my taste. “It’s a shame.”
Blood Mage Pelestan.
A man with the second strongest fighting power in Dante after Ruanes.
After pushing her Finden Eye away with one blow, he admires her taste and follows the Finden Eye, which flew away just like that.
He said he would make sure that no one interferes with the fight between me and Ruaneth.
“This bastard!”
She tried to block it with all her might, but the surprise blow sent her flying backwards, and harsh swear words poured out of her mouth.
If it were the original work, in fact, Findenai would not have been a match for Pelestan.
‘It’s enough for now.’
If you are the current Finden Child, she will be able to act as an ultimate counter to the blood mage who is difficult to deal with.
“Taylor, please take care of Erica.”
“Okay.”
I keep seeing bugs trying to cling to Erica, who is unconscious and breathing evenly on her floor.
When I look for Bakhtus, who is looking at me with a sinister gaze, he smiles and raises his hand.
“It’s been a while, Deius.”
But Bactus wasn’t the only one who had eyes on him. She is a woman who seems to be preparing something next to him.
The entire body was covered with a robe, but traces of stitches were visible between the exposed skin.
In addition to his small physique, he has an ominous aura about him.
Corpse master.
‘Is this the woman I saw in the dream show?’
She was the woman who killed most of the guests, starting with young Ruanes, during the nightmare.
Tairn went on the defensive.
The robe he is wearing is a full body armor of magic. The surrounding space becomes distorted, and the remaining talents of the warlocks do not work.
The ultimate counter for wizards.
The Magic Judge is responsible for defense.
Of course it was the knight’s turn to attack.
Roaring!
A living, breathing flame dwells in Gloria’s great sword. The flame, flowing like the breath of a phoenix, reveals its harshest presence through heat.
“Just stay and don’t die.”
A woman wearing red armor and holding a flaming long sword heading towards the warlocks.
“Then I will kill them all.”
Her speed is such that you wouldn’t even think she was wearing armor. She is a woman who wears the title of King’s Sword, and she sets out to slay the warlocks who pollute this land.
Quang!
“Keuuu!”
The first person to stand in her way was Zhang Lun, the only one among the warlocks who was confident in close combat.
A spirit bordering on screaming.
His spear barely manages to shed the heavy falling long sword.
“The art of martial arts?”
Gloria recognized Zhang Lun’s spear skills at a glance and muttered softly, but did not stop her sword.
The sword that was shed suddenly returns to its original place.
Hot heat felt in the left shoulder. Is it because of the pain of having my flesh cut, or is it because of the flames contained in Gloria’s sword?
“Ooooo!”
Anyway, Zhang Lun had no choice but to put down his spear and kneel down due to the unbearable heat.
“It looks like he’s a disciple of God of War.”
A disciple of the Martial God Hanso.
Gloria immediately figured out that it was a secret spear technique taught only to them.
“But the level has dropped a lot.”
In the end, he is not a spear magician, but a person who has entered the path of black magic. I don’t know what kind of magic he uses, but I already know that Zhang Lun is in no condition to fight.
Gloria rushed straight towards the next group of warlocks.
Her battle could truly be called a flame.
It had a destructive power that did not stop and turned everything it touched into ashes.
So I decided not to worry and just focus on the white-haired man in front of me.
“How did you know about the magic stone? “It was kept a secret.”
“Is that still part of it?”
“It’s a power that has been accumulated over 200 years. “It is the main driving force of my plan.”
It was natural that enormous magical power was needed to annihilate all spiritual beings on the vast continent.
Although this was something that appeared in the game, it was not difficult to infer it even if it wasn’t actually that.
“It can’t be taken away.”
Strengthening her resolve, Luanes spreads her spirit everywhere.
The white smoke surrounding Ruaneth’s body began to take on a gigantic shape.
A type of monster or devil.
He has a large horn on his forehead and has the head of a dragon, but his body is human and his thick hands are touching the ground.
It was a direct indication that the soul of Ruaneth, who had lived for a long time, had now become something other than a human.
“It’s an unsafe method. “The moment something goes wrong in the afterlife you created, a huge soul bomb explodes.”
At that point, there is really no turning back.
I, too, fully understand that part.
“No need to worry.”
We had already prepared a solution for that. But he won’t accept it.
“I know that in the name of a memorial service, you value the dead. But think calmly. “You already know which is the easier and safer way.”
“… ….”
“I just don’t understand. You are a reasonable human being. You know what is the best option. “The living should be prioritized over the dead!”
“… ….”
“Why are we solving the same problem but getting different answers?”
Ruaneth’s cry is full of resentment and frustration.
He wanted to persuade me, and his expression was full of earnestness.
“Deius Verdi, it is impossible to create a world.”
“Stop it, no matter how many hours you talk, my thoughts will not change.”
Upon hearing the firm answer, Ruanes lowered his head.
It grits its teeth and now glares at me with hateful eyes.
“I don’t know why you do this, but it’s enough now.”
Buuung!
His soul, transformed into a monster, raises his fist high.
“Even though I’m a necromancer, I don’t deal with souls, so don’t think you can beat me.”
The huge fist that cut through the wind and struck directly above me had the heaviness of a physical body.
Chaaa!
The giant monster’s fist splits and scatters, leaving no trace of its original shape.
“Pfft!”
Because Ruanes was dealing with his own soul, he complained of a headache when he was harmed.
She is a woman who smiles and challenges him.
[The person I hated most in the world was Herald Hazard.]
With his arms crossed, the dark spirit secretly smiles and glares at Ruanes.
[The title of the strongest warlock already belonged to that person. I can’t fight someone from 200 years ago.]
“Black, sir.”
Ruanes glares at her as she runs her fingers through her hair. However, even such speculation was accepted by the Dark Spirit with enthusiasm.
[I’m glad this opportunity came.]
The dark spirit master who came down in front of me declared, gathering mana with his fingertips.
[Just because you killed a lot of people doesn’t mean you’re the strongest.]
Like that.
A time has come when the beings called necromancers cannot back down from each other, testing the paths they have taken.

Before that.
“Are we finished playing with evil spirits?”
[Senior, you’re cool.]
When Stella and I open our mouths at the same time, the dark spirit man’s face turns red and he gets really annoyed.
[It’s time to look cool! And he’s still an evil spirit! Deius, you too! Let’s go to a three-way match!]
“Hmm.”
Is it because it has been a long time since I last spoke with the dark spirit? I said, keeping a straight face.
“No matter how much you do, fighting in a spirit form will be difficult, Jenny.”
[Quaaang! Don’t call me by that name!]
A dark spirit, his body floating in the air and covering his face with both hands.
He has already defeated one member of the three-way battle.
