Chapter 377: Fact Always Wins (3)

-It’s not just in the State. There are already demonic minions hiding in each kingdom or continent. Like Ito Souta, the demon worshipper of the State, and Jin Qing, the demon summoner of the Republic, they are disrupting the continent’s order with their own purpose. Even at this moment, the forces of darkness continue to consume light and the continent. They are moving to use their power to achieve what they want. This situation is the picture they wanted. Everyone, please open your eyes. Don’t be fooled by the demon’s voice and look at what really matters.

Naturally, I looked at the top of the city wall with serious eyes. There were eyes that were already moist. It seemed quite plausible, even if I were to think about it.

The light that gently wrapped around my body added a sense of trust to what I said.

‘As expected of Light Kiyoung.’

Even if I thought about it again, I wanted to say that this was a real game-changer, now that I had gotten the class as Alchemist of Light.

It would have been less persuasive if it had been ugly darkness surrounding me while talking about this.

-What they want is the destruction and fall of the continent. They want to take away your family, the place where you live, everything you have to protect. Your enemy is not humanity, but the demon and its minions who have put you where you are now. The Republic’s current regime, whose roots have been rotted by demon summoner Jin Qing, is the target of your sword.

No one would disagree that this was a fact, all without a lie.

-Please throw away your weapon. We need to hold hands together and face a greater threat. We need to root out the demon, including the demon summoner Jin Qing. We must protect our living base and take a step forward. Conflicts between nations and ethnic groups must be abandoned, and everyone must take a step forward. It is time to make a decision toward the light. Why are you there? What did you go to the battlefield to protect? Are you in place to protect what? The Three Kingdoms Alliance is not your enemy, but your ally. It is time for all who live on the continent under the name of light to gather strength. Please make a decision.

Make it or not.

-Stand up. Do not be swallowed up by the dark, but get on board with the light. The continent can become one under the name of light.

Of course, I could see the elf looking at me. It looked like she had been quite impressed.

The situation was similar for the enemy camp.

The Republic soldiers, who had already been agitated since the Goddess’ Mirror popped out, were influenced by the soft light that I was emitting.

The command team tried to respond as much as possible, but they were all a step too late. Before entering the full-scale wordy warfare, I thought I could say one more word.

-The power of darkness is too great. The power of the Three Kingdoms Alliance alone cannot save this continent. A small candlelight cannot light the darkness, but I could realize from the experience of the Laios crisis that a group of people could light the darkness. You are the candle that can light up the darkness. It is a light that can illuminate the darkness for everyone, whether the ones with strong force or those fearful of the sudden war.

It was then that a loud voice had come from the other side.

-It is fabricated evidence that the Jin Qing military is a demon summoner. Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung, who jokes with the continent and stands out as a puppet of the State, is the continent’s achievement. The Laios incident is also his own play and what he propagates through the Goddess’s Mirror…

-What you believe is a hoax. It is a hoax to cry out for justice without solid evidence. Believe what you see with your own eyes. Believe what you see, not what you hear. Whom the unimaginable powerful demon calls to be his contractor? Who was the one who brought great despair and danger to Laios? Who is the one who refuses to come out and refuses the trial enforced under continental law? Perhaps you don’t even know that the Three Kingdoms Alliance has been formally put to trial. Think again. Ladies and gentlemen, who have been holding his breath in the safest place since causing all this confusion! I am standing in front of you now. Unlike Jin Qing, the demon summoner, I’m standing here to talk to you!

-Don’t be fooled. Not everything seen through the Goddess’ Mirror is true.

-Look at you now. Can you say it’s not true either?

I wanted to send a thumbs up to Jung Hayan, who immediately turned the camera at the signal I gave.

What the magic hologram was now showing was the spokesman for the Republic. Instantly, a startled face was reflected in my view.

‘Is she Russian?’

It wasn’t clear whether she was a foreigner or Russian, but when I checked with my Mind’s Eyes, the needed information poured in immediately.

[Checking the status window and talent levels of the player Yev Karina.]

[Name: Yev Karina]

[Age: 34]

‘Russian.’

I felt that I didn’t even need to see the other side.

She looked like a non-combat type in the first place, and it was hard to say that her stats were also transcendent.

It wasn’t as terrible as Lee Jihye, but I thought it was likely that she was a wizard capable of self-amplifying voice amplification magic, probably from the Jin Qing line.

Her irritated face even looked a little cute.

It was obvious as to what she was actually thinking. I could already predict what she was about to say.

‘Something like denying the frame of light and darkness.’

Or…

‘Or try to turn it upside down.’

Either way, she would soon be reborn as a demonic official, anyway.

* * *

-Look at you now. Can you say it’s not true either?

‘Why am I here?’

I had no choice but to question from inside.

I heard that the current location had not been confirmed, but the command’s judgment that it would be located in the State’s capital or Lindel had collapsed.

‘No. Still, nothing changes.’

Instead, it was better. All forces were currently blocking Eberia.

If the operation was successfully completed after the Siege of Castle Rock begins, the overall war situation became even more advantageous.

Lindel, then the capital.

This war was on the verge of victory. The problem was that many people, including myself, were feeling pressured by the current situation.

‘I have no choice but to deny it.’

It was not all, but it was enough to see the soldiers confused.

The Republicans, in particular, were imbued with uncertainty. Some foreigners were also confused.

Of course, I thought they had to be. The previous video was that shocking. Ordinary black wizards usually ended up calling a lower or intermediate demon.

I had never seen or heard about a transcendental monster full of malice that it was even fearful of being faced. Even though I didn’t see it in person, my whole body was trembling, so I wouldn’t need another expression.

‘That kind of thing… exists on the continent?’

If the demon lord’s image that was being reflected in the Goddess’ Mirror was really true, I could understand the ridiculous story Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung was mourning.

The vain story that there was darkness targeting the continent.

However, if I were to think about this place as a standard, it was not really an empty story.

Anyone with an adventurer title would know how dangerous the malicious beings hiding all over the continent were.

Of course, I believed in Jin Qing. However…

‘Even if that video is manipulated.’

It doesn’t change the fact that it’s destructive.

Having heard of the detailed situation, I could not escape the growing seeds of doubt. What if Jin Qing really was a demon’s servant?

What if most of the people of the Republic were really being deceived by Jin Qing?

What if that Honorary Cardinal was chosen by the light?

If the purpose of the military was not consistent with that of the Republic… Demon Worshipper Ito Souta, Demon Summoner Jin Qing…

I started to doubt this a little more. I had to admit that he was already deeply involved.

‘It’s a lie. It’s definitely… fabricated.’

I knew nothing good would come out of questioning, but strange thoughts kept popping up in my head. What I needed to do in this situation, however, did not change.

The Republic, including myself, had already gotten their second wind, and it was impossible for ordinary people to resist it.

‘I’m doing what I need to do.’

I needed to comfort the soldiers and to respond to the Honorary Cardinal’s words.

I had long thought about it, but I still acted instantly. As soon as I exhaled and opened my mouth, a loud voice began to be heard.

My reflection in the Goddess’ Mirror looked uneasy even when I saw it for myself.

However, this was for the best.

‘It’s propaganda, and it’s a tactic. Let’s never have questions.’

-Everything is enemy propaganda and tactics. This is a deceit tactic to defeat the allies’ morale. Oh, it wasn’t Jin Qing who summoned the demon. The Honorary Cardinal of the State was the one who caused the crisis. It is an elaborate script created to start this war and a ploy to take the Republic! You must not listen to them. They are the real demons. Those who deceive and agitate the people are the demons that should not be settled on the continent. We must remember how much blood has been shed because of the riots in the name of sacred democracy.

‘Right.’

-This is a self-written play using Laios people’s lives as collateral to attract the neutral country of Laios to them. The demon summoner is not Jin Qing, but the State’s Honorary Cardinal and the people with him!

‘Is it really? Wouldn’t it be okay to say that those who risked their lives to protect Laios were really the ones who summoned the demon?’

It wasn’t acting at all.

The large warrior was resisting, shedding tears sincerely, while the Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung and the wizard were constantly vomiting blood and resisting transcendent power.

‘Was it really an act?’

-Everything… is a trap. It is a self-made play that tries to obscure judgment. Imagine why the State attempted to attract the neutral country, Laios. Think about why they were trying to attract different races. It is this war that they aim for and want. It is the Three Kingdoms Alliance that denies the Republic with a sword in order to take our possessions and is disrupting the order. All these situations are what demon summoner Lee Kiyoung wants! He is the one who summoned the demon! Jin Qing wouldn’t do that!

It was then that a big, thundering cry broke out.

-What lies are you telling?! I am a clergyman chosen by Goddess Benignore and Elune, a messenger chosen by God! You servant of the filthy demon!

At this point, a divine light that I had never ever seen before came out, blinding me with its sheer brilliance.
