Episode 265
69. Disaster always comes at the same time (2)
Purgatory, Magic, and the Land of the Dead.
kingdom of the dead.
‘Labyrinth’ has been called by many names from generation to generation and has become the object of fear of many humans.
300 years ago, at the same time as the birth of the Demon King, it is the territory of an ancient country that the demons invaded and completely destroyed it.
as proof of that fact.
The once blue sky and earth were in a state of complete loss of life.
Thunder and lightning strikes every day, and the ground is cracked open, leaving a wilderness that is hard to find even a single piece of grass.
And the huge city towering over the horizon was the only land left by the demons today and the base of the liberation front.
“Finally, the time has come.”
The leader of the Liberation Front and the former right arm of the Demon King, ‘Giant’s Foot’ Gailum, caused a formidable giant.
At one time, it was the size of the last descendant of the giant ‘Gigant’, who was thought to be able to fight against the demon king.
Even the throne on which he was seated was made from the remains of a thousand human beings.
“The day when the lost glory will be restored.”
Gailum said so and took a step forward. Then there was a thud and the whole palace shook.
In the past, when the demons were defeated by a huge army of humans, Gaylum chased the remaining demons and hid here in Labyrinth.
From then until now, what he had been hoping for was to restore the full glory of the demons.
It was to annihilate all the humans who sealed the Demon King.
“It will be done according to your will.”
A skinny undead standing quietly next to Gailum bowed her head and answered.
Harcream, the spokesperson of disaster.
The former Prime Minister of the ancient country established in Labirance in the past.
He was now the Elder Lich, who helped Gaylum in overall management of the Liberation Front.
“I also have something to tell you, O Most High Gaelum.”
“I allow it.”
“A message has arrived from the predator Kassais, but it is said that he has buried the entire fleet of temples that were monitoring the area.”
“Five… … My proud fighter Casais. This time, again and again, you show that powerful force.”
“In addition, Cerberus and Ariados have also been contacted. It is said that the gathering of the remaining legions in Labirance has been completed.”
“Good job. My faithful servants.”
Gaylum smiled contentedly and moved on. He took out a blue armor from among the weapons that filled one side of the palace.
A wall of iron that repels even the magic of the sage, is immune to the sword attack of the sword, and is never pierced by a surprise attack from the shrine.
“It’s been a long time.”
Gaelum muttered in an eloquent tone and tightened the fixation of his armor.
Next was the mace.
Bloody Massacre.
A weapon unique to Gaelum, created by Aaron Nortontail, the Prince of the Cursed Land Fairy.
With just one swing, dozens of troops turn into chunks of meat. No matter how strong and great a warrior, in front of his mace, he was just an ant.
How many bloods were shed?
Gaylum stopped counting after swinging the mace three times.
woong-
As he picked up the Bloody Messier, the crude mace began to resonate.
It recognizes its owner, and is greedy for blood and life to devour.
“Well, Harcream. Are there no humans captured by Cassis?”
“There are about fifty or so. I thought I was going to hand it over to the bugs.”
“Just ask for twenty.”
“Yes.”
Harcream slowly disappeared through the shadows and reappeared. Then the twenty priests, bound by the chains of souls, fell on their faces at Gaylum’s feet.
“Ugh… … !!”
The types were varied. There were young women and there were old men. There are men with healthy bodies and women with small bodies.
“The smell of those who follow the light is still disgusting.”
Gailum’s expression frowned. It is a response to the divine power that is innately emitted by the priests.
“Your guy… … Gay room! We may crumble here, but the Light will never forgive you!!”
Among them, the man who seemed the tallest stood up and opened his divine power.
He was a high-ranking judge in charge of the main office of the Canaanite Temple and the headquarters of the Heretical Judgment Bureau located there.
Because he was a strong man who once competed with the Redeemer, Elijah, who is said to be the strongest in the current temple.
Wow!!
“Light! Give me strength!”
Even in a state where the soul was tied, it was able to radiate a tremendous level of divine power.
A belief that does not falter in the slightest.
However, it only stimulated Gaelum on the contrary.
Puff!!
Before the divine power could be poured out, the judge’s blood was scattered on the floor promiscuously.
“The humans resisted to the end. Am I not dignified?”
“Never come. They are like fire moths, not recognizing their fear of savagery.”
“It’s not fun.”
Swish, Gaylum swung his mace. As if bursting a water balloon, red blood gushed out.
Twenty priests died in one blow.
A high-ranking heretic judge who captured and killed many demons, and a priestess who became a model for all the followers.
It no longer exists in this world.
“Have you tasted enough blood?”
Gailum’s question was answered with a mace. The scattered blood seeped into the mace all at once.
“Let’s go now. It is to catch and kill every abomination of human beings, and to build a tower made of corpses on Paradise Island.”
“Please do as you will.”
Leaving behind Harcream, who politely bowed his head.
Gaylum crossed the walls of the collapsed palace and headed towards Paradise Island.

“Are you okay until yesterday?”
“Yes, dean.”
“Ugh… … .”
At Ecclesia Bell’s call, Ortana Dean Dalfner Raituves and Librarian Gevial rushed to one step.
it’s a gold book
Because it was a major incident where an intruder occurred in a place that can be seen as the most secure and strict place on Paradise Island.
“I was never a student. Except that an intruder has entered Paradise Island… … .”
said the librarian.
His words were, in a way, natural.
The lock of the vault is not something that can be easily unlocked even by Dean Ortana – that is, Dalfner, who is almost the pinnacle of the science of magic.
But how are students able to solve it at will?
“I will contact the police department immediately.”
“Wait a minute, Gavial. Isn’t something strange?”
“Yes… … ?”
“Professor Ekklesia, what did you say about the missing books?”
She recalled her memory for a moment and told her a list of books she had checked.
“The Demon Lord and the player, Thanatos? Sephiroth? Can’t you see something in common?”
“Isn’t this about the three great evil spirits? So, we need to catch it as soon as possible!”
“Wait and see.”
Dalfner touched the security technique of the completely collapsed vault.
Anyway, when it comes to sealing magic, Dalfner Raituveth is far more knowledgeable than other wizards.
Slowly and calmly, he grasped the structure.
I trembled at the inevitably felt aura.
“… … !!”
“Dean? Did you even notice something?”
“… … Why would he do this?”
The intruder did not cancel the magic or bypass it in a special way.
cut
The barrier devised by Ortana, one of the great heroes, was cut with pure force.
Even on all continents, there was only one person who could handle this power.
“Chairman Siegfried… … ?”
“Yes?”
“Three, all three of you are here!!!”
At that moment, one of the librarians ran out from behind.
“you! Where are you just coming from here? Only persons with special permission from the head of the library can enter here… … !!”
“Now that doesn’t matter!!”
It was a librarian who normally would have backed away.
His face turned white and his body was covered in sweat.
“What’s going on?”
“An emergency central meeting was held. All three of you are asking me to come right away!”
“Emergency Central Meeting… … ?”
The three exchanged glances at each other. The fact that the seal of the forbidden vault had not yet been released would not have been made public.
However, the reason that was transmitted through the librarian’s mouth was incomparable to that of an intruder from the forbidden library.
the liberation front.
Because it was the news that they had begun to advance toward Paradise Island.

deafening remarks. Nabe flapped her wings passionately and began to explain.
“Last time, there was a clear report from the dream watchtower that Sanwoo-sama had built for surveillance purposes… … . I’ve seen it with my own eyes… … .”
Nabe has no reason to lie. If the liberation front hits, it’s the same with me and Nabe, who become X, so why are you lying?
But somehow I wanted to deny it.
“Yura, how were you sure of Esther?”
“The eight temple guard fleets that were monitoring Labyrinth were annihilated. An urgent telegram from the high priest!”
“annihilation… … ? Did you mean that the Canaanite temple fleet was wiped out?”
Theodore looked unbelievable. Even so, the holy empire Acryon, located in the temple of Canaan, was famous for its strong naval power.
Therefore, if it was a fleet that was monitoring Labyrinth, it would have been the most elite fleet among them.
The news that such a fleet had been annihilated was the worst.
‘Even in the main story, the Canaanite temple guard fleet was annihilated and started. This… … It is the beginning of a war that cannot be subtracted or beaten.’

My mind started spinning quickly. There must have been no omens, so why is the Liberation Front moving?“Sa, Sanwoo-sama… … ! What now!?”
“The Elder and whatever, pushing the Liberation Front is the top priority right now. Anyway, the main purpose of that person is to keep the seal of the Demon King safely.”
The story couldn’t be twisted, and the final battle was approaching.
Scenarios related to the Tarkans, back alleys, and even the Elder Scenarios that were in progress at the very least were chewing up and approaching.
A truly unpredictable disaster.
“Aid from the Holy Empire?”
“I was told that I was going to go out with an anti-fleet right away… … It will be much faster on the Liberation Front to get to Nakwon Island.”
“That was it. Yura Esther, please assemble all the judges and priests who remain on the island.”
Requests for reinforcements at the temple are OK.
The following is a request for application from student rallies and unions.
“Theodore, your role is the most important.”
“Yes… … ! Yes, sir. Just tell me!”
“We need to contact Union right now and bring in all the troops we have available. You also have to control the students so that they can accept the situation as calmly as possible.”
Finally, the time has come to write a Dad Chance.
As many of the high-ranking students of Union went to Paradise School.
They will also bring all the troops they can mobilize in the Union.
“Find the former student council president and vice president, tell them all the facts and ask for help.”
Theodore swallowed dry saliva at my words. It seemed that the situation was still not well understood.
It was the same thing for me, one step before I fell into a panic.
I had to keep calm.
In times like these, you need to hold your mind tighter.
“From now on, it is war. Mary Celeste? It’s not going to end on that scale.”
At that time, it was possible to deal with three ships rather than a battleship.
Even if Illyana Noel didn’t come out just in time, Ishtar would have been able to block the invasion regardless of whether he was alive or dead.
But it is not a liberation front.
It is a terrible war in which many students are actually sacrificed.
There are no winners or losers—there is only blood and battle in chaos.
“You can’t predict how many people will survive or even win.”
“Baek San-woo… … .”
“But we have to stop it. What the Liberation Front aims is the complete destruction of Paradise School and the resurrection of the Demon King. If that happens, there will be no hope for the entire continent, not just Paradise Island.”
When I spoke with Theodore making eye contact, the student council president answered with a determined look.
“I will keep that in mind.”
“Then please!”
I tapped him on the shoulder and immediately exited the archive.
“Baek, Sanwoo Baek, where are you going?”
“I’m going to Bachelor!!”
The student council, the temple, and external forces alone cannot do this.
Full professor, associate professor, full professor, dean.
At the very least, they had to collect all the hard work of the civil servants who were put in to run the school.
total war.
A more radical and all-out war than I could have imagined was approaching all at once.
