“…”

Menas, including the executives of the Wizards’ Society, an urgently convened council.The atmosphere was suffocating itself. Neither the chairman Darc nor Roses who was watching from the side, nor the other members of the council or the president of the society could speak.
There is only one cause. This was because a monster infiltrated Menas, inflicting 356 civilian casualties, killing 46 knights and 12 wizards, and leaving the entire Southwest part of the Southwest without contact within two days of fleeing.
“I can’t believe it. Do you know how many urgent calls for assistance last night? The communication lines are overloaded. More than 3,000 reports have been made so far! That’s the same with the towns and villages in the southwest that were attacked.”
“Does this make sense?! What kind of bastards can hit more than 3,000 places at the same time!!”
Some lawmakers eventually backed out. Their eyes were mostly directed in one place.
Roses flinched at the gaze. Austin, who was recognized for the seriousness of the situation, provided information once again and exposed all of Roses’s faults.
“Stealing magic, and the number alone is more than tens of millions! Their strength cannot be compared to those of the ruins that ruled this world in the past. You could have prevented all of this early, but you blew up that opportunity, Roses! What you did! Is that true?!”
“Si, you’re noisy! I’m just…”
“Everyone is quiet. You know that’s not what’s important right now, don’t you?”
Chairman Dark shut the mouth of Roses, who was furious. Of course, the intention was to cover up Roses, but the other members of the lawmakers were dazzled by Dark’s strength that he did not hide.
Originally, he was famous as a genius, but in recent years, the sense of intimidation that he secretly exudes has more than doubled.
“In this situation, even though I was born after that time, some of you may know. The fierce days of fighting over the successor of Yongjong and the world. I won’t be able to tell you.”
“That’s a hundred times right.”
Austin nodded his head darkly. They had to fight fiercely, eventually leaving their hometown and pioneering a new world.
But now it’s different. It was close to a miracle to settle here in the first place. I couldn’t afford to go anywhere else any longer.
“Fight. You must survive.”
Above all, Chairman Dark could never back down. Enemies are units, and the unit’s purpose is to stand on top of the world.
In some cases, units worked with other units to kill each other, but the problem was that Dark, who had held the continent’s hegemony from the beginning, found the other units early and killed them all.
Even if there were units that survived his eyes, it was unlikely that they would receive any meaningful help.
“Then what do we do now? Estimate uh, if more than a billion monsters come pouring in at the same time, we can’t stand it!”
“But I’m going to sit still and face it. I have to use all my power to stop it! First, expand and urge the evacuation orders that are still in place!”
Fortunately, even if Dark didn’t urge them, the people declared that they would unite and fight. It’s like hitting the baton.
Because the opponent was so overwhelming, there was no time to harbor a vain heart.
‘If you can stop it.’
Both the sky and the earth were the playgrounds of the enemies. It would take astronomical force to defend them all.
At the other lawmakers talking about their defense plans, Dark was only looking at them with cold eyes.
When the heat of the meeting subsided for a while. Dark secretly called someone.
“Chairman. For what…”
“I must open the gate.”
“A gate? Uh, where do I open it?”

Marcus, president of the Addos Society dealing with gates. He flinched at Dark’s words that he had to open the gate.“Redrium.”
“…Yes?”
And I was shocked to hear the words that came out of Dark’s mouth.
Redrium, their hometown, but a hell to which they can no longer return.
“If those terrible lizards and the monsters of the abyss fight each other and die, wouldn’t it be our victory?”
“Oh, that’s not okay!”
Terrified, Marcus shook his head violently. Marcus, who had been tired of coming to his master, knew what it was like.
One of the biggest tasks of the Ados Society is to thoroughly manage the cracks with Redrium, which have already been connected. That was their mission.
“Never. Absolutely not.”
The young president of the society, Marcus, was determined. After that, Dark didn’t open his mouth, he just looked at him tiredly.
“Well. Good.”
And turned around neatly.
Of course, when he turned back, his face was wrinkled badly.
“Roses. See you for a second.”
So immediately after that, I called Roses. Roses, who had been weakened by this incident, had no choice but to follow his words with a grunt.
“What the hell are you talking about. Gathering a thousand healthy people.”
“I don’t know the details. Just do it as it is.”
“ね…”
Dark, who had dragged Rose to the corner, glared openly. Roses’ eyes fluttered as he saw his raised fangs.
“Please don’t be frustrated. You know that?! This is a competition for survival. It’s a fierce competition where only one peak survives! I’m here because of power? I’m going to save you! If you can’t help, don’t disturb me!”
“Oh, I see…”
Dark, who was bursting with emotion for a moment, grabbed Roses by the collar and shook it violently.
His harsh words and actions revealed the extreme stress he is experiencing as a unit.
Although he was usually an arrogant and insidious character, he looked very different from the past, when he did not cross the line.
“Why, even use the power to kill, vice president. Unfortunately, it’s useless to me.”
“Well, I didn’t even think of that.”
“Then go and gather people as I said. The President of Ados won’t cooperate, so there’s nothing I can do about it. I have no choice but to eat that ability.”
Now, not even hiding his intentions to kill, he left his seat and returned to the conference hall.
Left alone, Roses slid on the floor. It was something he was feeling deeply these days.

“What’s going on!”
“Senator! Now over the city… ugh!”
The moment when Dark grabbed Roses by the neck and shook it.
The conference hall, no, the entire city of Menas shook.
Austin, who had rushed along with the other senators, looked at the sky and was mesmerized.
The shield was cracking as if it were about to break, and a huge shock wave was roaring.
“Ha, one more flying!”
“Sorcerer howitzer?! But how could it have such power!”

Meanwhile, another flash of light fell across the sky and struck the city once more.The president of the society for the crooked old man named Seidel, who was standing next to Austin, opened his mouth wide in shock at the power of the magic.
“Respond… I have to respond…”
Seidel, the old man who had always maintained his composure, stuttered. Instinctively, he thought about countermeasures, but he couldn’t even grasp where he was shooting.
“Everyone calm down! First of all, the wizard’s eyes!”
Austin, who came to his senses quickly, led the wizards.
The wizards hurriedly gathered and cast the wizard’s eye, a magic that could see all the way from afar.
Austin also helped out.
“That’s…”
However, what you can see with the cast is a bunch of black creatures floating in the distant sky.
Its appearance was similar to the monsters that are now driving the entire continent into crisis.
Among them, a prominent being with blonde hair waving with a wand in the middle took the magic circle and started to approach this place this time.
Austin clenched his teeth, realizing that the intent was to fire a direct-fire gun. It was also clear that he intended to shoot at zero distance.
They all raised their wands at once in a sword-like motion, and at the same time, they created a magic circle.
“That cheeky…!”
“How dare these guys!”
When the wizards saw the black dot visible to the naked eye in the sky now, they burst out and clamored.
Because it was an act that completely trampled on my crumpled self-esteem.
“Strengthen the defense further!”
“Hurry up! If you amplify it momentarily, you’ll be able to stop it!”
They hurriedly communicated with the defense tower, urging them to raise the defense even in a crowd.
However, the threshold of the defense system, which has not received any intrusion, was not high no matter how much it was raised.
“Aww!”
In the end, the shield of the sacred continental capital of Menas was shattered by the power of the zero-range direct-fire cannon, which doubled in power, and the wizards who were maintaining the defense were blown away by a backflow of magical power.
“…who are you.”
When other people are panicking and can’t do anything. Austin looked at the ‘it’.
It also saw him. Austin’s heart ached as he sensed something from his blonde hair fluttering in the wind.
“Bombardment! Shoot in response!”
“Direct, too far to shoot with a direct…
Enemies once again cast magic, and began a massive bombardment.
response was impossible. The opponent was too far to shoot with a direct-fire cannon. There was no time for calculations to shoot with a howitzer.
There is no mercy or compassion for the bombardment that randomly explodes all over the city, so the people’s options are to either evacuate by screaming, or to be burned to death.
Austin closed his eyes tightly. For some reason, he felt a deep resentment from the shells that were flying towards him.
