Chapter 357 - Luke is Gone 2 (2/2)

Slash!

‘Well, this indeed is the Sword of Heart…’

He realized the principles of the Sword of Heart, but Hyrun fell to the cold ground without getting a chance to use it.

Gregory, who took down Hyrun rushed over to Nanas, who was manifesting magic.

“T, this…”

When a shield magic was about to get manifested, Gregory cut off Nanas’s right arm.

“Ahhhh!”

Nanas screamed, grabbing the wounded hand.

The mana went back when the magic got stopped, and the pain intensified.

Right when Gregory was about to give out the last blow.

“Stop.”

Tang!

A powerful shield magic with a calm voice bounced off Gregory’s sword.

Startled, Gregory looked at the elven man who was blocking Nanas.

“Who are you?”

“I am Bratt, the head of the Wind Valley.”

The fight had ended before Bratt made an appearance.

The forces led by him, Fairy Queen and Amur Khan surrounded the grounds.

Gregory looked around and shouted with rage.

“You were short on fleet, so you readily prepared volunteers?”

At his words, Bratt shook his head.

“That is a misunderstanding. We are here to catch Elder Nanas and the fairies who sympathized with her.”

And to prove it, he handcuffed Nanas’s left arm.

It wasn’t just the handcuff, it was a bondage magic that sealed the magic of a high ranking wizard.

Suddenly, when the bondage got placed, Nanas’s eyes opened wide.

They had come to catch her, what happened?

Looking at the troops brought in by Bratt, she noticed that the number of humans and fairies were similar.

In the situation where Bratt had fewer troops to stop Nanas, he had asked help from the higher-ups and brought in humans.

“B, Sir Bratt. Why would…?”

At the question from Nanas, Bratt answered coldly.

“Didn’t you hear it? I came to arrest you, who sacrificed your people for the cause which only you believed in. Even the Fairy Queen has agreed.”

As if Bratt was right, the Fairy lady looked at the Fairy Wizard and nodded her head.

Nanas who saw it distorted her face.

“You shouldn’t do this, Ariete. Fairy… no, did you forget the wishes of the fairies?”

At the plea of Nanas, Fairy Queen Ariete spoke in a stern voice.

“I haven’t forgotten. But I think that the means and methods of the Elder is wrong.”

“So, you have come to stop me? And you brought in those dirty humans?”

“Even humans will say that the Elder is dirty, they think this method is mean and nasty.”

When Ariete was done speaking, the fairy wizards rushed over to Nanas to capture her.

“Let go! You can’t do this! This is the only way!”

She had struggled however, she couldn’t resist much with the bondage filled in.

Nanas got dragged out, and the fairy warriors who sympathized with her soon disarmed themselves.

Ariete approached Bratt.

Bratt had approached Erwin, who was on the floor and looked at her condition.

“How is she?”

“She seems to be having last breaths. But I think that I can save her.”

“Then you need to hurry.”

Arch Duke Gregory sighed with relief as he watched Bratt and Ariete cast recovery magic on Erwin.

And the most urgent situation was resolved.

‘I was being so vigilant. I need to be more careful in the future.’

After a long time of carelessness, Gregory’s men were sacrificed, and now, he almost regretted not standing up sooner.

But then he realized the Sword of Heart.

Sword of Heart, which was known to be in myths, was an ‘indomitable will’ which didn’t endure hardship or adversity.

Thanks to that, Gregory had longed for life and stepped into the grounds of Sword Emperor which was once blocked.

“By the way, I forgot about Marquis Luke while I was fighting.”

Returning to the cage, he went to find Luke.

However, Luke and Hwang Bo-sung were nowhere to be found inside the cage.

“Marquis Luke! Where are you, Marquis Luke?”

Maybe Luke might have wanted to go somewhere, so Arch Duke searched around for him.

However, no matter how much he called, there was no trace of Luke.
