Chapter 183: Eradication (3)
A net of heaven and earth.
An inescapable net from the heavens.
Those who witnessed this sight were all reminded of these words.
“What in the world just happened······.”
They had clearly seen it with their own two eyes.
But seeing and understanding were two separate matters.
They understood that the man had swung his sword in the blink of an eye.
They understood that a blinding white light had enveloped their vision.
But they could not understand the countless pieces of the undead army scattered across the field once the light had faded.
“He did that with just one sword?”
They had never heard or seen anything like it.
To completely annihilate thousands of undead, even an entire fleet of Allied airships would have to bombard them relentlessly.
There was no one in the world who could wield such power single-handedly.
Not the Murderer, not the Frost Monarch, not even the Vice-Captain of the Order of the Holy Knights could do something like that.
The farmers simply stood there, dropping their weapons one by one.
A sense of awe washed over them, stronger than the relief of having survived.
“Captain of the Guard.”
“Yes?!”
“Send the collected letters to the Saintess. The Saintess will then review the list, commend everyone gathered here, and reward them.”
“Yes, sir!”
The Captain of the Guard responded, his body stiffening at the man’s instructions.
He had no idea who the man was.
But judging from the way he spoke, he seemed to be a high-ranking member of the Alliance.
“I will send everything to the Allied Command!”
“The Allied Forces? What’s that?”
“Excuse me?”
But the Captain of the Guard was taken aback by the man’s next words and asked again.
He didn’t know about the Alliance.
He wondered if the man had suddenly fallen from the sky today.
“The Alliance is······.”
Despite his confusion, the Captain of the Guard began to explain everything to the man.
It was common knowledge, even to a newborn baby.
But the man seemed to know nothing about what had happened in the past two years.
After listening to the explanation for a while, the man fell silent as if to gather his thoughts.
His face was a mixture of emotions.
He also seemed to be struggling with something.
“So that’s what happened······. I understand for now.”
“Yes. I’m glad I could be of assistance. By the way, may I ask your name?”
“My name.”
The man smiled wryly.
He stroked the head of the girl beside him and said,
“Tell them. Tell them that Michael Jackson has returned.”
“······?”
And then, the man disappeared.
As if he had urgent business to attend to.
Some time later.
A magnificent airship appeared in the sky.
On the ground, the Frost Monarch and the Murderer arrived on horseback.
“What the······.”
The Witch’s mouth fell open as she disembarked.
When she had heard that the farmers were going to buy them time, she had thought that they would be wiped out.
But when she arrived, it was the undead army that had been wiped out.
The surprise attack, where they had gathered all their remaining forces to break through the siege.
The surprise attack that could have led to the entire world being overrun by the undead if the defensive line had been breached, had ended in an absurdly short amount of time.
“What happened?”
“Well······. Someone appeared and used an extraordinary spell to wipe out the undead······.”
Something about the way he spoke was strange, but he wasn’t wrong.
At this, the Witch and Transylvania’s mouths fell open.
To think that one person had done all that.
It was ridiculous, but the atmosphere was not one where jokes could be made.
“Who was it? Who the hell was it?!”
“Excuse me? Who was it? Huh? Huh? Who was it? I’m sure I heard the name?”
“What’s going on? Does anyone remember the person’s name?”
“I heard it too, but for some reason I can’t remember······.”
Yerina’s expression hardened.
As if they had planned it, they were all claiming amnesia.
“······It was me.”
“What?!”
But at that moment.
Yerina suddenly jumped in surprise as if something had touched her shoulder, and drew her sword.
But there was nothing there when she looked around.
The people around her were simply startled and fell on their butts.”Why are you like this, Lord Frost?”
“It’s nothing······.”
Unpleasant.
An infinitely unpleasant feeling.
It felt like I had forgotten something I shouldn’t have forgotten.
.
.
.
“How in the world is the world turning······.”
How long has it been?
I only found out after arriving in the present world.
It had been 2 years and 3 months since I disappeared into the dimensional rift.
The first thing I found when I arrived was my grave.
It was a tombstone stuck next to the dead World Tree.
One of the inscriptions carved there.
The inscription left by Julia was this.
-I couldn’t bear to receive what you left behind, so come back and get it back.
I immediately realized what it meant.
The magic sword I had given to Julia.
It was definitely about the sword that I had promised to return alive and receive.
After splitting the tombstone and taking out the magic sword, I was suddenly called for an emergency while filling my stomach.
I happened to encounter an undead army and was able to annihilate it.
By the way, the fact that the undead army was still alive was the most surprising thing······.
“Still, it’s very emotional.”
The bright sun I see after a long time.
Green meadows.
The moment I arrived, I couldn’t help but shed tears.
After asking people and confirming, I found out that there had been many changes in the present world in the past two years.
I heard that an international organization called the Alliance had been created.
It was an organization founded by the Holy Kingdom, Petersburg, and Palana, and it seemed that they had joined forces worldwide to fight against Draken.
Although the participation rate is low and most countries are just listening, it is said that the major powers such as the Holy Kingdom, Petersburg, Palana, and Elvengard are taking the lead, so its position is already enormous.
Of course, it is natural.
All of them are countries where the main heroines and Mia have taken power.
‘The Holy Kingdom is a bit unexpected.’
Among them, it is strange that even the Holy Kingdom is actively participating in the Alliance.
Even though the power of the Saintess is great, it cannot be compared to the power of the Priestess in Elvengard.
That means the Pope is supporting the Alliance······.
‘No. It’s not that surprising.’
Come to think of it, it makes sense when you consider that Elvengard and the Holy Kingdom have suffered the most from Draken and its allies.
The mayor of Cologne was killed because of the Great Demon.
Cologne was also swept away by Kali, who was resurrected by Luna.
He also suffered the loss of the Hameln Cathedral collapsing just after its completion.
Then it seems like he would try to glare at Draken and kick it.
Now that it has been revealed that Draken is a world.

In order to protect the dignity of the One God, Draken must be eliminated.
“Are you handling the situation?”
Looking back, I can see a huge airship guarding the sky.
The airship, which decided that it was dangerous to be exposed for a long time, disappeared into the barrier and became transparent.
On the ground, Julia silently puts on her hat and gestures to instruct the cleanup.
If you just look at this scene, anyone would think that he is an admiral with charisma.
No one would think of him as a gloomy and shy person who fidgets and stutters.
“······An, go?”
Mijung, who is poking my waist.
I want to go.
But I know I can’t.
“Wouldn’t everyone be embarrassed if you came back alive after dying with so many death flags?”
“······.”
“······That’s a joke.”
Although it is said that resurrection is the number one nuisance at a funeral, everyone would have been looking forward to my resurrection.
That’s why I gritted my teeth and tried to come back.
And finally came back.
To see their faces again.
And to keep my promise······.
However, I am now unable to keep my promise.
The reason is ridiculous.
“Hey, mister!”
I called out to a farmer passing by.
“Yes. Tell me.. What’s the matter?”
“Can you tell me the way? Is this the way to Cologne?”
“Yes. That’s right. But who are you······?”
“My name is Eugene.”
“Yes? Who are you?”
“It’s Eugene, Eugene.””Huh? What? Huh? Wait······? Who was I talking to?”
A farmer who was having a conversation with me suddenly scratched his head and walked away.
It was as if I was invisible to him.
I can have a normal conversation with him until I tell him my name.
The moment I say my name, I become invisible to the people here.
No. To be exact, I become invisible the moment I make them realize that ‘I am a person’.
They can no longer see me.
All memories of meeting me disappear.
Just now, I tapped Yerina on the shoulder and spoke to her······.
In Yerina’s case, maybe because she knew me from before, she didn’t seem to recognize me.
The memory of meeting me just now disappeared.
Yerina’s mind activated a defense mechanism to adjust for the time difference and minimized the contradiction.
The people here, including Yerina, never notice who I am.
