Chapter 176: Savior

< Chapter 176: Savior (1) >

In the end, no additional attacks occurred.

Once Queen Luna restores the barrier surrounding Reperiel, the incident will come to an end.

The strongest individual in this beast kingdom, the Beast King Jin, along with Edel and others, are on alert, waiting for that moment.

Edel?

While returning to my room after getting a brief report in the morning and drawing some water, I encountered Edel.

Oh, Ancestor. Good morning.

Good morning. You worked hard throughout the night.

I handed Edel the water.

Thank you. You even prepared water for me

Edel looks at me with a touched expression. It was just water I drew for myself Meeting Edel was merely a coincidence. But well, a good things a good thing.

Phew.

Edel down the water in one gulp.

So, are you going to rest now?

No. I have to wake Rena up and return to duty.

Wake up Rena?

Wasnt she on night watch duty with you last night?

Thats what I heard.

Yes. She couldnt overcome her sleepiness last night and fell asleep.

Ah.

Come to think of it, Rena did tend to be quite sleepy. Even when having fun, she would nod off like a sick chicken after midnight.

Is it because shes growing?

Yes. Its a common trait among beastmen of this age group. Its a period of rapid growth, and as a backlash, they tend to sleep a lot.

Ah~

So it wasnt just Rena being sleepy for no reason.

Then isnt it better to let her sleep more?

Good sleep promotes growth.

Id like that too, but Queen Luna wants to show Rena the barrier regeneration magic.

True. Opportunities like this arent common.

If something happens to Queen Luna, Rena is the only one who can take over the role of forming the barrier.

Thats true.

Nothing is guaranteed in this world.

So one must always be prepared for the unexpected. Not just Queen Luna, but me too.

Then, take care.

Yes. Please rest well, ancestor.

I watched Edel walk away and looked up at the morning sky, which was getting brighter.

The primary goal is achieved.

Successfully securing a power to rely upon has been accomplished.

Western Continent.

The temporary abode where the main forces of the Savior are stationed.

Heavenly God suddenly stood up with a surprised expression.

What did you just say?

The unique snow-white hair of the heavenly race.

A body with graceful curves.

Even with a mask covering her eyes, shes undeniably beautiful.

Heavenly God asked with a shocked expression.

Are you saying that Mephisto was subdued in Alfheim, and Lilith and Bazet were annihilated in Reperiel?

The mysterious pupils visible through the mask were slightly trembling.

Yes, thats correct.

Metatron, the secretary in charge of assisting Heavenly God, responded. Like Heavenly God, he was a handsome man with striking snow-white hair.

Its said that they completely stopped them without a single casualty.

Not even one person died

Heavenly God exhaled deeply and sat back down.

In your view, Secretary, do you think this is possible?

Logically, it seems impossible.

Metatron waved his hand upward.

At that moment, Metatrons pure white magic took form and became a globe, which then expanded to highlight the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago. Red marks appeared over the locations of the palaces in Alfheim and Reperiel.

As you see, both of their attack points were the palaces. Mephisto, Lilith, Bazet. All three have exceptional abilities in large-scale massacres, so it would be normal to expect significant casualties.

Whether civilians or soldiers, it would be normal if everyone had died.

Given the circumstances, it wouldnt have been surprising if either Alfheim or Reperiel was annihilated.

Even if the Beast King of Reperiel and the Queen of Alfheim possessed power beyond their races, it would have been challenging to repel those three.

Contrary to Illyna and Jin, who are bound by their responsibilities to their citizens,

Mephisto, Lilith, and Bazet derive power from these citizens.

In terms of situation and nature, they should naturally be on the losing end.

To annihilate those three without a single casualty in such circumstances is virtually impossible.

But since the impossible was made possible, there must be a reason for it. Do you have data regarding that?

Yes, of course.

The screen changed along with the flow of Mephistos magic.

This display shows the density and distribution of magical energy at the time, and Ive analyzed the data in my own way.

Upon checking the chart, Heavenly Gods pupils slightly enlarged.

The battle durations in both areas are very short.

The battle in Alfheim lasted about 15 minutes.

The battle in Reperiel lasted about 8 minutes.

Both are incredibly short.

In addition, the magic density of Alfheim is very low, whereas the magic density of Reperiel is very high.

Thats strange.

Heavenly God narrowed her eyes sharply.

Considering Mephistos characteristics, the magic density of Alfheim should have been high.

Mephistos ability is Concentration of Evil, which grows stronger the more enemies are around him. Considering his ability, the magic density should have significantly increased at the center of the palace.

And the magic density of Reperiel should have been lower. Lilith and Bazet use a power called Qi instead of magic.

Yet, Reperiels magic density was unusually high.

From this data, I have managed to come up with a hypothesis.

A cold light shone from Metatrons mysterious pupils. Heavenly God seemed to have reached the same conclusion as Metatron.

Is your hypothesis that Alfheim and Reperiel knew in advance about the invasion from the Demonic Faction?

Yes, thats correct.

This was the only conclusion that could be drawn from the records.

The low magic density in Alfheim might be because they evacuated their citizens in advance, and the high magic density in Reperiel might be because the Beast Kings wife, Luna, activated a magic circle she prepared in advance. We can speculate like this.

To do so, they would have had to know about the attack in advance.

If they knew about the invasion, it makes sense that the battle duration was extremely short.

If they set a trap, its natural that the battle duration would be short. Metatrons hypothesis fits perfectly.

But one question remains.

How did those two countries notice Demonic Factions invasion in the first place?

Heavenly Gods eyes narrowed with doubt.

Neither I, nor the secretary, nor the Dragon Lord none of us noticed Demonic Factions covert actions.

That is

Metatron bowed his head deeply.

I apologize. I havent been able to determine that yet.

That was all Metatron had figured out.

Secretary.

Heavenly God stood up again.

Raise your head. Theres no need to apologize.

She then approached Metatron and lifted him up.

Its actually impressive that youve figured this much out in such a short time. Youve done well.

Heavenly God

Metatrons eyes filled with emotion.

And the important thing is, the troublesome three executives of Demonic Faction have disappeared.

Yes.

Mephisto, Lilith, Bazet.

These three were tricky executives even from the perspective of Savior.

They were unpredictable variables, potentially playing the role of wild cards in any situation.

Planning operations because of these three had been such a challenge.

The fact that these three wild cards had disappeared altogether was indeed a matter to be happy about. Their disappearance signifies that the tense power balance has tilted towards the Saviors side.

Its an opportunity.

In other words, its the perfect chance to completely crush the Demonic Faction.

How is Aquas condition?

Once the Water Spirit King, Aqua, recovers his strength, he can start acting immediately.

Hes expected to wake up from his sleep in about two days.

Two days

Thats just the right amount of time to reorganize the front lines.

Good. Secretary, contact the Dragon Lord.

They have to come up with the best strategy within these two days to completely annihilate the Demonic Faction, or rather, Demon God.

It might be a bit difficult right now.

Metatron lowered his head.

Why?

The Dragon Lord is currently away.

Heavenly God frowned.

Away? At such a crucial time?

I apologize.

Its not something you should apologize for.

Heavenly God sighed.

So, where is the Dragon Lord now? Just tell me his approximate location, and Ill go there myself.

Heavenly God stood up and spread his wings widely.

The sight of five pairs of beautiful wings unfolding simultaneously was truly spectacular.

The Dragon Lord is currently in Reperiel.

Reperiel?

Heavenly Gods eyes narrowed in confusion.

Why in Reperiel

* * *

As soon as I opened my eyes in the morning, the first emotion I felt was astonishment.

You

One of the reasons for my surprise was seeing a face filling my vision as soon as I opened my eyes, but that wasnt the main reason.

Youre the one responsible for this incident, right?

I was surprised because I instinctively recognized who this black-haired woman was.

Dragon Lord?

Oh. Exactly.

I wouldve known just by looking at those reptilian golden eyes that are slit horizontally.

Saviors co-leader. Dragon Lord. Inifrenisia Bernitolomi Ortalosinapita. Thats my title and name.

The Dragon Lord smiled mischievously.

Now that Ive introduced myself, shouldnt you do the same instead of just staring blankly?

Ah, yes. Im Kang Seoryul.

Is that all?

Yes. I dont hold any special position.

Hmm. Is that so?

The Dragon Lord looked at me as if she found me very interesting.

Hmm, hmm. Ho, ohoho.

No, shes examining me thoroughly. Her eyes sparkle with curiosity.

Are you really the Dragon Lord?

Seeing her so unguarded, I inadvertently blurted out such a question.

Why? Dont I seem like it? Want to see my original form?

No. Im good.

The Dragon Lord I remembered from the original work was a very cold woman. She never became close to the protagonists side, and every word she uttered whenever she appeared was the epitome of coldness.

Such a woman is now wearing this friendly smile.

It wasnt strange to inadvertently ask if she really was the Dragon Lord.

Judging from the immense power I feel from her, she seems to be the Dragon Lord.

I think its natural for you to doubt. I sealed my power to its limit to avoid being detected by the Demon God. Not very Dragon Lord-like, is it?

I was momentarily taken aback by her response.

This is her with her power sealed to its limit?

If you release the seal, will you become many times stronger than now?

I asked out of genuine curiosity.

Hm? This is the first time Ive sealed my power this much, so Im not exactly sure, but Id guess Id be at least 10 times stronger?

Ah~ 10 times

This is crazy.

It seems like you, too, have sealed your power like me.

Yes?

I heard about it before I came here. A legendary being who sealed their power to recover it

The Dragon Lord chuckled.

You mean a High Elf?

From whom did you hear it?

The leader of this country.

It mustve been deemed okay to tell the Dragon Lord, whos the leader of the Saviors side. After all, there was no request to keep it a secret to begin with.

I didnt expect there would be a surviving High Elf. I thought they all vanished after that incident a thousand years ago.

The Dragon Lord is about 4,000 years old. It was natural for her to know about events from 1,000 years ago when the myth of the High Elves was born. But what did she mean by vanished?

What happened? They achieved enlightenment about the truths of this world and left. What happened after that?

The Dragon Lords eyes took on a serious look.

And what about the other High Elves?

She spoke words that I couldnt comprehend with a serious expression.

What on earth happened there

Just as a golden glow erupted from her dragon eyes,

Whoosh!

A beam of light descended from the sky.

As I was about to be on guard, thinking it was an attack,

Its okay. Theyre not an enemy.

The Dragon Lord reassured me.

I see. You are

Then, from the pillar of light, a familiar voice rang out.

Thump, thump.

A woman, white from head to toe, walked out from the beam of light. The moment I recognized her, my eyes widened in astonishment.

God?

The five pairs of wings proved her identity.

Hello.

After the beam of light completely faded, the woman smiled and greeted me.

I couldnt react. All I could do was stare at the God, my mouth agape.

That is

Her eyes were masked by a peculiar design, but such a small mask couldnt hide the overall contours of her face.

Why are you looking like that?

Seeing the God tilt her head, I internally exclaimed.

Its Yu Hwa.

The Gods face and voice were unmistakably Yu Hwas.
