Chapter 791: The Last (24)

-We need to keep them away from the World Tree!

“No! Sh*t.”

-Hayan!

“Don’t make Jung Hayan chant other spells! Sh*t, tell her to start teleporting! Make her cast the teleportation spell! Move everyone. Take the elves with you, sh*t! Stop what you’re doing! Stop casting!”

-Hayan! Now!

“Listen to me, Hyejin. Listen to me. Hayan doesn’t have to fight, so tell her to start up the teleportation.”

Cho Hyejin could be seen biting her lips tightly and nodding her head. She looked like she didn’t understand, but she immediately instructed Jung Hayan to chant the spell.

She untied the fabric wrapped around the spear and started to fight against the crazy individuals that came running straight at them.

A madman had his chest stabbed by her spear and was torn down.

The sight of an impaled individual still attempting to move was certainly something I’d seen somewhere. Although there were differences…

‘Republican suicide squads? Has the devil actually influenced them?’

The difference that stood out was that they had gone mad. That seemed to show that they were being brainwashed.

No, I didn’t have to check with my eyes. I could tell by their shouts.

-The Goddess is in the Tree of Life! The World Tree! Hahaha!!!! Ahhh! Ahhh!! Ahhhhhh!!!

-Let’s go! Let’s go!

-With blood and pain! Ahhhh! Ahhhhhh!

-Free the Goddess! Free her!!!!!

They couldn’t even pronounce their words properly. As they screamed nonsense, they drooled.

Weren’t they moving like they were out of their minds?

It was madness, absolute madness, that stood on the faces of the people who were all shouting that they should head to the World Tree.

The others were confused by such a sight. Smoke was already soaring from all directions, and I could hear the sound of soldiers trading blows with their opponents.

The screams and movements of the panicked elves reminded me of the first time the World Tree collapsed. However, this time, we weren’t at the North, which was originally used as a battleground, but in the middle of a peaceful city.

‘Are they really the enemy? Do we have to fight?’

There had to be some people who thought like that. Their opponents were humans being held in Eberia.

-Get your act together!

‘Good job, Hyejin. Sh*t.’

-Focus! We’re in a dire situation! As trained, follow the manual!

It was fortunate that Cho Hyejin’s voice woke them up. But honestly, I didn’t know if these elves were fighting in their right minds.

It was a horror for some people. Sh*t, it was a nightmare. There was fear in the faces of the soldiers who had won the battle against demons that tried to rule the continent.

‘Crazy…’

Fear of not understanding their own common sense, fear of facing pure madness and malice head-on. I bit my lips as she pushed her weapon in…

“Ahh! Ahhhhhhhh!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”

They were screaming and moving recklessly, and their faces were turning muddy.

They might be thinking that it would be better to deal with angel-masked devils. Sh*t, I was scared to death by the scene. I didn’t know if they were really crazy.

The commanders, who suddenly came to their senses on the battlefield, were leading the forces.

Soldiers were trying to protect the kingdom’s elves along with Cho Hyejin. Two types of troops flocked to the World Tree.

That was a relief, but it was safe to say that nothing other than the Tree of Life was visible to these madmen and that non-combatants were safe. At least we could minimize the conflict.

‘Sh*t… Sh*t… Minimize the damage.’

-It’s the Goddess! The Goddess is with us!!

-Don’t back off, heroes! Remember the wars we’ve gone through! Don’t you ever back down! They’re the people who sold their souls to the demons! Defeat them once more!

-Kill them! Kill them all! They’re in the way of our Goddess! Kill them all! Hahahaha! Hahahaha! The Goddess will rejoice in our sacrifice and blood!

-Elune will join us! Lee Kiyoung will give us strength!

‘I’m not going to, but thank you for mentioning me. Sh*t.’

-Lee Kiyoung will be watching us!

‘Well, you’re not wrong.’

-The hero of the continent will stand by us!

Cho Hyejin, looking at the chaotic battlefield, spoke again as she moved through the battlefield.

-What’s going on here? Why the hell is a goddess in the Tree of Life?

There couldn’t be a goddess in there.

“What Hayan said earlier…”

-Isn’t it going to explode if a huge shock hits it from the outside? The Goddess is…

“There is no goddess… The Tree of Life is a bomb, and those bastards are the detonators. They got a message to head to the Tree of Life. They’re completely brainwashed. Honestly, even if they don’t make a fuss, Lee Jihye… No, there’s no time for this. Hurry up and put Ahn Ki-mo and Sora with Hayan. Hyejin, you…”

‘Sh*t…’

“I’m asking you again just in case, but you made her cast the spell, right?”

-Yes, as the Vice Guild Master ordered. But she said it might take some time.

“Did you instruct Elena to install protective magic around the tree?”

-I’ll order her to do that now.

“Okay…”

-Vice Guild Master. I’m sorry, but when you said they are brainwashed…

“It’s probably Lee Jihye’s work.”

-What?

“Why are you pretending you didn’t hear me? This is her doing.”

-…

‘I’d like to explain it in detail, but I’ll have to think about it first.’

“How many spells does Hayan have left? How long will she take?”

-It may take longer than you think. There’s a lot to consider since it’s a job to move all the remaining elves in the kingdom.

‘Is Lee Jihye still here?’

Honestly, I thought it was more likely that she escaped, but it would be a waste to miss this opportunity.

“Get Alps. Hyejin, come on.”

-Alps!

-Yes… Yes! Acting Guild Master!

“Look for Lee Jihye! Tell them to find her!”

Cho Hyejin took out the scarf that Lee Jihye wore around her neck every day.

-Can you find her?

-I’ll give it a try! Whitey!

-Ahhhhhhhhh!

-Be careful!

Alps’s arm was being pulled toward the enemy. Hyejin protected her immediately.

It was like a scene in a movie, but there was no time to appreciate Cho Hyejin.

Whitey stretched out his legs right away as if he understood what was happening.

-This way!

‘Sh*t, we can stop this, right? We can stop her without Hyejin, right?’

It might be possible. Jung Hayan was excluded from the battle, but the Blue Guild was strong. Even though it was noticeable that the fighting power and regeneration power of the crazed humans increased…

‘My members are stronger.’

It wasn’t like they’d been half-assing their training. Not only the Blue Guild but also the elven soldiers.

Elen was starting to spread her sacred power across the field. It gave the allies strong regenerative power. In an instant, our fallen comrades lifted their bodies and picked up their weapons.

Ahn Ki-mo was also very reliable. He covered a fairly large area but never took his eyes off Jung Hayan.

He used his weapon and shield to fight while casting sacred spells, providing buffs, and even chanting protective magic.

Although Park Deokgu overshadowed him, he was efficient enough to fill the role of the main tanker.

‘He’s the real deal.’

Hwang Jeong-yeon was delivering information about the Kingdom of Eberia to Jung Hayan through the eyes of Anemone. Han Sora was looking around, assisting Ahn Ki-mo.

Some of the elves who came to their senses were also trying to drive away their enemies, keeping the defenses thick.

It wasn’t like I didn’t see any close points at all, but…

‘You’ll be able to wrap it up. Sh*t.’

Even if something else happened, there wouldn’t be a big problem until Cho Hyejin could return.

-Here you go!

Cho Hyejin and Alps were moving nonstop. Honestly, I didn’t know how far her puppy could track Jihye, but he was running like crazy, probably because he felt something.

‘Are you sure she’s still in Eberia?’

She didn’t have to be completely discovered. I just needed Whitey to find a trace. There was so much I could do with that little clue that the possibilities were endless.

‘Please, you can do it, Whitey. You can run faster, can’t you? Our Whitey is good. You can do it, good Whitey.’

I wanted to call him Tactic Whitey. Frankly, I felt like he was worthy of such a title.

-It’s here! Cho Hyejin! This is it, right, Whitey?

-Bark!

-Yes, I’m following you.

It was the inside of the building. The crazed lunatics weren’t around.

I circled around the building as a precaution, but I couldn’t see a single ant.

How long had they been running? From far away, two dolls began to be seen.

‘Is that noona?’

I wasn’t sure, but what I could see was a woman wearing a mask and someone kissing her shoes…

‘Elios?’

Sh*t, that son of a bitch’s eyes were already out of order.

The cheap pure love didn’t go well with the guy who expressed interest in Cho Hyejin just a few hours ago.

It was like he was being brainwashed, but if it was true love, then he wasn’t loyal to anyone else, even if he was brainwashed. True love would’ve overcome that.

‘Hyejin, are you watching? Sh*t, that punk. You can’t do this.’

-Jihye?

-…

-Jihye!

-…

The masked woman raised her hand, and a dark curtain instantly surrounded them.

Elios and the masked woman, hidden in a dark shroud, immediately disappeared.

Cho Hyejin ran in a hurry and tried to hold onto her, but she was too late. Alps was staring at her blankly, and Tactic Whitey was barking hard.

‘Good. It’s okay. That wasn’t bad.’

It was satisfactory enough. I gained something from that alone.

“Tell Hayan to warp to this place.”

-…

“Hyejin, please send a message to Hayan.”

-Ah… Yes…

“We need to move now.”

-You mean right now?

“Warp everything regardless of the outcome of the battle. All the elves, too.”

-…

Cho Hyejin was looking at the distance, a bit puzzled. It was probably because most of the problems had already been sorted out, which made her think why we even had to warp. Well…

“It’s going to explode, anyway.”

-…

And…

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Cho Hyejin, who looked at Eberia blankly, caught my eye. I was sure of it.

She was shivering at the horrors of Lee Jihye.
