Chapter 493: The Twist Of The Twist Of The Twist (1)

‘How the hell did this happen?’

I still couldn’t believe my eyes. No matter what I thought, I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

The situation Belial prepared proved to be suspicious, even though I had seen the war going onward with my eyes.

I played the magic hologram once again, but nothing changed.

Donovan rushed in like a mad dog with rabies. I could see him running toward the great wall with intense anger. Even though he was being penalized, a mythic-grade was still a mythic-grade.

The humans inside the wall spread magic and arrows in terror, and the siege began.

I had no doubts, believing that humanity would join forces and push Donovan out.

Before the federal soldiers’ damage accumulated, I knew that the assistance of the four-nation alliance and the Republic would arrive.

Donovan’s throat being cut off by Kim Hyunsung was the most beautiful death for Donovan, who would be tired after dealing against huge force, and I was 100% confident that it would be completed in a while. However…

I couldn’t find Kim Hyunsung in the magic hologram even after rubbing my eyes.

Rather, what stood out was the State’s main force abandoning their base and moving further inside. While Donovan had been running wild at base 41, they broke out through the siege of base 43.

At first, I wondered if they had been driven out from behind, but I quickly realized that wasn’t the case.

Indeed, Kim Hyunsung had abandoned the Federation.

‘Why is this bastard doing that all of a sudden?’

Although I had thought about dozens of cases, I naturally didn’t imagine him using the Federation as a sacrifice.

That was because I judged that he would never leave suffering people behind because of his personality. No matter how uninterested he was in politics, he knew how much his actions would be criticized internationally.

Of course, the resulting conflict was also predictable.

I didn’t really think that the regressor who had achieved the task of bringing humanity together would cause conflict on his own.

‘Are you not thinking about the end-game? What will you do if you come in like this and get surrounded by Donovan’s forces?’

He was really moving forward without looking behind him.

They aimed to arrive in time even if it meant disregarding other factors. The composition of the troops and the camp itself was perfect. The troops, constructed only for the purpose of breaking through, felt deformed in some way.

‘There really is no escape…’

At that moment, I had realized that the plan I was imagining had become a piece of tissue.

The Continental Union- no, Kim Hyunsung had no intention of defending the base after taking it over.

He had no intention of getting stuck in a base and gathering information, and he had no intention of engaging in guerrilla warfare using the forward base, either.

What he was planning from the beginning was charging forward nonstop.

They minimized their supplies and lightened their weight as much as possible to arrive at Amera in the shortest time possible.

It couldn’t be viewed as a strategy. He was only pushing the troops further into enemy territory while putting everything at risk.

He didn’t even think about the situation of being caught after all the supplies ran out. I couldn’t understand how Lee Jihye could agree to such a crazy plan.

When I thought he was running crazy because one of his colleagues was suffering, a smile appeared on my lips for a moment. However, I couldn’t help getting anxious all the same.

‘How should I deal with this?’

There was no way they could really eat those who were rushing and asking to be eaten.

If it were a real war, I would call people from all over the world and make a shield to block them, and then isolate them to dry them to death.

Even in the preliminary explanations, I talked about those who should never be killed. Hence, the demons were bound to be passive in stopping them.

‘Is it possible to increase our performance with this?’

Even though gift boxes had been scattered all over the place, they had ridden a burning bus instead and rushed to the Blue House. It might be that the Republic and other heroes from other countries were attending the event prepared by me, blocking the way to the main base, but there was no way I could be satisfied.

‘What will I do with Donovan…?’

-Dirty insect humans.

-Ahhhhhhhhh! R-Run away… Run awaaay!

-The State has betrayed us. The Continental Union has abandoned us. Sh*t… sh*t!

-You motherfuckers of the Republic! Heaven will not forgive you!!

- Do not back down, and don’t let them come up! Don’t give up until the end! Resist to the end!! It’s a castle defense battle! It’s still in our favor!!

-You guys will not be forgiven by God!!

-Shoot! Shoot!!!

-R-Retreat…

The spectacular and superb view was already running wild.

As if they knew how to play their role properly, they were beating up the Federation troops. I didn’t know if this was a mere coincidence, but just in time, I got to see him tearing up Gerhan of Hellfire.

-This kind of flame is called hellfire?

-Ahhhhhhhhh!!! S-Save me… Save…

-This maggot human who has never tasted hellfire calls himself Hellfire. You are worthless!

On one side, I could see Jamilla suffering as well.

-Please, please save me. Please. Please…

I planned for them to die, but I couldn’t help but feel a little sad since we used to be so close.

I wanted to torment them before they died, but it seemed that I couldn’t even do that.

Still, the guys who were at the top of heroic-grade and bottom of the legendary-grade must’ve felt terrible.

‘It’ll be impossible for the Federation to recover. It has to be.’

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that there was already a big wound on the continent.

‘It can’t finish with just this.’

That would practically be no different than a failure.

Donovan was mainly making some results without the need to act, but that was no different from being a hardliner. Was there no sense of achievement in breaking humans’ heads without making them feel true fear?

‘This crazy bastard… that’s why I told him to do it in moderation. Sh*t.’

Fortunately, he had been driving humans into Belial’s territory, which meant he hadn’t forgotten his mission, but the number was fewer than what I expected.

The seats prepared on the Blue Dragon Train were about fifty seats, but only twenty people entered.

‘What do I do now?’

The demon who had to leave for heaven was trolling in the front line, and even Kim Hyunsung, whom I believed in, didn’t respond.

‘How do I kill Donovan, and how do I stop those guys?‘

No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t a situation where an answer would be formulated within minutes.

‘Should I change my attitude?’

Even at that moment, I thought that I should stand on the side of humanity and break the heads of dirty demons, but that couldn’t happen in the first place. I didn’t know much about Benignore, but my guts weren’t strong enough to backstab Belial.

Considering that the demons were my insurance that I could use after 2,000 years, I had to maintain a good relationship. It took guts to cut ties swiftly just because things weren’t going well.

‘I have to go all out with this one.’

In a way, it was no different from us being meant to be.

Perhaps it was because I kept a sour face for so long, a devil who was looking at the magic hologram in the control room talked to me.

-Are you okay, Lee Kiyoung? You don’t look good.

“Ah. I’m fine. I was just a little nauseous because of something I ate yesterday. It all seems to be going according to plan. This is not a bad situation.”

-As expected…

“If it continues like this, the project will gain great results. Oh, if anything out of the ordinary happens, you can tell me right away.”

-Ah. There is something.

“Yes?”

-The enemy’s main team that escaped from base 43 is casting a spell. They’ve been at it for a while now…

‘Why is this bastard only telling me that now?’

“T-Turn on the screen.”

-Yes, sir.

The State’s main force, which was running like a crazy wild horse, stopped at some point.

“Can’t you get a little closer?”

-There is someone really sensitive there… she’ll probably notice if I send the spirit any closer. This distance is the limit.

“Please zoom it a little bit.”

-Zooming in now.

Of course, Jung Hayan was the one chanting the incantation. I didn’t know what kind of magic it was, but the magic’s pulse felt unusual.

I was worried that she was going to start by firing a gigantic spell.

‘I don’t think that’s the case, though.’

Since I was in Amera, there’s no way she could drop something like a Meteor.

Even if they were aiming for victory with such large magic in the first place, they wouldn’t be able to attain it easily.

There was already a defense prepared against Jung Hayan’s semi-mythic-grade magic. Hence, I knew it would be fine.

I thought perhaps she was just using magic at random. However, the reactions of others were a little bit weird for me to believe that notion.

I watched the faces of precious party members that I hadn’t seen in quite a long time. The spirit couldn’t get close. Hence, I couldn’t see them in detail, but I could see their emaciated faces.

For some reason, Sun Hee-young wore the same ferocious face she had in the first round, and Park Deokgu sported swollen eyes.

Cha Hee-ra, Yuno Kasugano, and Elena were also visible. They, too, were no different.

In particular, Cha Hee-ra’s face had been damaged a lot, and I couldn’t imagine that she would be the one to be damaged like that of all people. However, the one that stood out more than anyone else was Kim Hyunsung, the lovely regressor.

‘Gosh, your face has become so thin.’

Seeing him so dejected felt a tad spectacular. Honestly, I didn’t know how to react.

He looked to be in so much pain and regret. He even seemed to be shocked enough to resemble Jung Hayan, who was chanting magic at the moment.

If I did my work properly, he probably would make the confession of a lifetime.

Of course, that’s not the only emotion in his face.

‘You guys…what are you trying to do? Why are you guys doing this?’

They had determined eyes as if each one of them was prepared to lay down their lives.

Considering that he had been operating a force that was no different from a suicide squad, I could understand why they looked like that.

They were talking to each other, sporting determined expressions like people who wanted to die at that very instant.

It wasn’t difficult to guess that the reason for that was the magic they wanted to cast. I wondered what the magic that Jung Hayan was currently chanting for them to make such expressions.

Even Jung Hayan also looked very nervous. She seemed to be behaving quite unusually.

‘I think I have to stop that.’

However, it was already too late to send in some more troops.

Her face, which was full of tension, was rapidly becoming darker and darker.

Priests like Elena and Sun Hee-young were putting their hands together, and even Park Deokgu was bracing himself.

Kim Hyunsung nodded adamantly.

At last, the completed spell popped out of Jung Hayan’s mouth. Right as I was about to send a message to watch out for meteorites that would fall…

-They disappeared.

‘I also have eyes. I saw it, bastard. ‘

The troops viewed through the magic hologram disappeared from view.

All that remained in the place where the troops were united was the magic circle on the ground.

‘Okay, seriously, what the hell just fucking happened? Why are you doing this?’

I panicked for a second, but the voice that opened the door from the outside allowed me to realize exactly what spell she had chanted.

-Lee Kiyoung. The enemy’s main army has entered the Limur’s nest, One of the main battlefields.

‘Teleportation magic.’

It was a spell that used to only be possible in theory.
