165 – Trouble arose ahead of the gig
A massive offensive by the Allied Powers against the Nation of Darkness.
Although expected to some extent, the Nation of Darkness inevitably had to respond to their extremely violent movements.
The situation in which the defense forces stationed in key areas were moved and some of the power in the capital was also moved.
However, despite the massive offensive of the enemies, the Nation of Darkness was proceeding with its attitude that it never saw any gaps.
The most elite Witch Corps, which can be said to be the practical core force of the Nation of Darkness.
Their case still held firmly to the altar where the ceremony was taking place, without leaving the capital.
In addition, 2 of the 4 demons were always on standby, and at the same time, the Sorcerer King Aztas was personally supervising the ceremony.
Even if, by any chance, they move the detached unit and attack this place, it means that they will never disturb the ceremony.

Meanwhile,
Watching such a strict guard from afar,
Although officially evaporated, he is a member of the current warrior party,
Digon, a witch from the Nation of Darkness who could come in and out of Lehier relatively freely, could not help but frown automatically.
‘Indeed, as expected, the security is no joke. To think that not only the 4 demons, but also His Majesty the King of Darkness would come to the fore… ‘
As a member of the warrior’s party, Digon is evaluated as a gomu witch.
But even she didn’t know exactly what power Aztas possessed.
All I know is that the power of Aztas is beyond imagination.
According to rumors, it was a monster so enormous that there was even a theory that it was more than the combined power of all the witches in this country.
In fact, the fact that she could calmly proceed with the forbidden magic Dream Land against the whole continent already made her a monster that had already surpassed the human category.
‘Anyway, if this happens, it will be impossible for us to attack this place directly… Right from the entrance, the defense is too thorough.’
As the city is a city, the current city is the citizens of the Nation of Darkness.
Among them, except for witches, it was surrounded by a great barrier that no one could pass through.
It was impossible to even hit and enter with clumsy power, and even if it was broken with strong power, the location was immediately revealed and there was no choice but to be surrounded by enemies in an instant.
Like that, once again confirming the fact that it would be impossible to attack this place even with the power of the mighty warrior Eren.
Digon started moving to proceed with the plan while carefully hiding himself in the alley.
‘The Demon King has promised that if this job is successful, he will set us free with a huge fortune. I will definitely succeed.’
Considering his original origin as a witch in the Nation of Darkness, Digon’s actions could be said to be a betrayal of his country.
However, despite knowing this, she had already made up her mind.
For her now, the most important thing is the safety of her colleagues.
In addition, even if it was the will of the country and the monarch, Digon could not help but support the matter as he was well aware of the danger and cruelty of this incident.
‘Honestly, even in this situation, is it simply because the witches are quietly bowing their heads to the King of Darkness because they are afraid of His Majesty? Or is it because he thinks everything will go as he pleases?… Which is not a good feeling either way.’
With that thought in mind, Digon carefully begins to cast his magic.
Although she couldn’t compare to the 4 witches, she was also a strong one among witches in the top 20.
It was absolutely impossible to attack a place that was tightly guarded, but it was more than enough to carry out the mission assigned to her.
‘Besides, it’s because he’s the captain of the garrison here. Worrying about dying even if things go wrong… ‘
With that thought in mind, Digon stretched out his hand toward the barrier in the distance.
Her specialty, which was also used when attacking the demon lord the other day.
that’s right…
-Kwagwawang!!!

Witch York.
As one of the 4 witches, she has one of the most powerful witches, and she is currently moving urgently along the outer edge of the castle with her subordinates.
“What the hell is going on? In the midst of this, the Great Wall was damaged.”
“sorry. I don’t know the details either. However, according to the soldier guarding the area, there was a sudden, large explosion without any sign.”
The Nation of Darkness is on the verge of tension due to the situation in front of its consciousness.
In particular, in the case of York, who is in charge of the defense of Lehier here, it was a situation that was more sensitive than others.
Although the King of Darkness had forgiven him, York was well aware of the fact that his position could not be said to be very good due to his previous defeat in Macedonia.
Therefore, in order to make up for it, she was feeling the psychological pressure to thoroughly carry out this mission, and this small trouble that occurred in this situation had no choice but to burn her insides in many ways.
“Immediately investigate this area thoroughly. Catch the fearless bastard at this crucial time and bring him before me.”
“All right. General.”
His subordinates immediately launched an investigation under York’s orders.
at that time…
“Come on, General! It’s a big deal!”
Another urgent voice.
In response, York turned his head away, feeling even more bloodied in this situation where something troublesome had already happened.
“What else?”
“that… That said, there was a sudden damage to the west wall and a report… ”
“What? No, it’s been a while since this happened, and again… what the hell are the defenders doing! You mean you couldn’t find the culprit again this time?”
“sorry. According to the soldiers, there was no suspicious figure, but the explosion occurred suddenly… ”
“damn! Send someone there right now to investigate! And make the boundaries inside the castle more thorough! Depending on the situation, some rats might have flowed in in the meantime!”
“ah… I understand, General!”
York shows deep irritation and starts sharpening his blade even more.
It was never what she wanted to make noise like this at an already important time.
If this has any effect on my consciousness, I don’t even want to think about what happened after that.
So, in the castle, York gathered as many troops as she could control and began to investigate the incident.
“there… General? I just got a call from Innsmouth… ”
“Insmouth? I don’t have time to worry about that, so I’m telling you to take care of it! There’s another explosion at the northern wall right now.”
“ah… All right.”
York, ignoring requests from outside, concentrates only on his own work.
At this moment, under a lot of psychological pressure, the other guys’ urgent circumstances were not entering her head at all.
‘I will never catch you. Dare to f*ck me at this time. If anyone is caught, they will thoroughly retaliate… ‘

“Whoa… ”
Shud wanders around the sealing stone alone while feeling extremely bored.
To be honest, she didn’t care what to do with protecting the national treasure, but since she was doing a job no different from a common warehouse keeper, she just felt frustrated with her current situation.
‘I really… I can’t believe I have to protect something like this at such an important time.’
With that thought in mind, Shud turned his gaze toward the sealing stone.
Looking at it glowing red from the depths of the temple, she placed her hand on the object with a desire to alleviate her boredom even a little.
A huge rock with powerful magical powers.
With the help of this, she could handle magic that was twice her normal power.
From that point of view, it was definitely a great item, but it was impossible to move in the first place. That said, since there was no immediate battle here, Shud thought that this situation was literally nothing more than a bright apricot.
at that time…
‘… No, wait a minute. Come to think of it, if it’s this powerful, wouldn’t it be okay to use it?’
A thought suddenly popped into her mind.
That was the last thorn left in her life that Shud had been thinking about all along…
It was about Eileen, the high priest of the Falcon Empire.
‘I can’t use my hands right now anyway. If you use this, at least you’ll know where he is in the Falcon Empire. then… ‘
It is a magic that she has recently learned, and a tracking magic that is being prepared as a means to find Eileen in the soon-to-be-activated Dreamland.
Although the range she could normally cover using this was the level inside the Nation of Darkness, in a situation where her power was amplified with the help of the Sealing Stone like now, it was possible to track a wider range.
‘I don’t have anything to do, so I’ll have to check it out.’
With such thoughts in mind, Shud begins to activate magic by borrowing the power of the sealing stone.
Right after that, the magical energy that radiated from her body began to convey information about Eileen’s location somewhere in the world.
By the way…
“… .uh?”
Eileen’s position began to come to her senses.
The moment she got the information she wanted.
Shud’s face began to harden as it was.
“What… What is it?… What is this… uh…why… Why is that bitch… behind me…?”
Eileen’s movement was detected from about 1km away in terms of distance.
Even recognizing that it was getting closer in real time, Shud started to feel chills run down his spine.
