Chapter 750 - Advanced Demon 4 (2/2)
“Connect the core engine with this cable!”
When the given operation was finished, a flare was fired immediately.
The first person to see the flare that was fired was Reina, who was in the hot air balloon.
“The signal is up!”
“Then let’s start right away.”
Luke and Karen, who was riding in a hot air balloon, held her hand.
It was to reduce the burden on Reina and prevent her from being exhausted.
The three of them held hands together and manifested Aether as Spirit power.
As the Spirit Power flowed from the body of the three people, the super large magic circle began to emit bright light in response.
Woong!
A huge double rainbow and rain of light like the Minos Basin covered the city.
The soldiers and the citizens of Bransk were shocked at the magnificent sight.
“The U-Undead are turning into humans!”
“Oh, oh! Such a miracle…!”
The light of miracle purged around 3 million Undead who were lured into Bransk and its close vicinity.
However, unlike the Minos Basin, there were no plants or trees that grew in the area. It was because Luke and Karen were controlling the Spirit power.
“Her Holiness!”
“Wasn’t she originally our princess?”
“She really is an angel!”
When Reina was done with purifying and went down to the city, the citizens welcomed her with cheers.
The commanders of the Volga army bowed to Reina, just as any soldiers of the royal family would do.
In particular, the old commanders of the Volga, like Kutzov, was beyond courteous. They were really pleased.
“Please raise your head.”
“We wouldn’t dare to do that.”
It was for the people, but the royal princess was outcasted.
And they received grace and not retaliation from the woman who they showed hardships and suffering. The commanders were feeling ashamed and regretting their past actions.
Reina reached out and raised them all.
“I can’t speak for what has happened in the past. But I can see that you’re fighting for the people, and you know what has to be done for the people.”
“Princess…”
“I hope that your intentions and heart won’t change in the future.”
At Reina’s words, tears flowed from Kutzov’s eyes.
It was when Luke smiled at the scene, Erwin approached Luke and whispered something that made his face turn hard.
“… Was it verified?”
“I couldn’t believe it either, but it is true.”
Moving to a deserted place, Luke pulled out the crystal and called for King James II of Castia.
-Greetings, King Luke. How did it go in Volga?
James II, who appeared on the other side of the call, smiled and greeted Luke.
“What on earth did you do?”
Rather than greeting him in return, Luke asked in an angry tone.
His words changed the expression of James II.
After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth with an expression that said he couldn’t comprehend Luke’s words.
-I don’t understand what you mean.
“I didn’t send the large magic circle to be used like that!”
The reason why Luke got angry was because Castia had used the large magic circle for a completely different purpose.
They built the magic circle just as Luke had instructed them, but instead of waiting for Reina, they triggered Heatwave magic.
The vast Noirban forest turned into a fire hole and destroyed 2 million Undead.
“Do you realize what you have done? 2 million people who could have turned back to humans are dead! We wouldn’t go this far if we thought that saving them was impossible!”
Maybe he felt offended by Luke, James II began to raise his voice.
-So what did you expect me to do? Our front line was on the verge of breaking, and the Undead were running in all directions.
“Don’t make excuses! Even the Navarre Duchy that had weaker power than you is holding up fine!”
Henry III was whining, but the troops of Navarre were really standing firm.
And the Castia Kingdom, which held a lot of power, committed such brutality!
“I know why you did that. You probably thought of bouncing back when you could. If the 2 million were brought back to humans, you mustn’t have been sure about feeding them or the benefit they will bring to your nation.”
-I won’t deny those claims. As the King, I can’t do anything that can cause any harm to my nation. We had already given enough for the war.
James II made points, but Luke couldn’t understand it.
The war wasn’t being fought for profit but was being fought to save the continent from falling into Arsene’s hand.
To save money, they burned down 2 million Undead. They murdered innocent people!
With raging eyes, Luke spoke again, “What you did during this time, saying that those people or the act wasn’t going to benefit you, will surely come back for you one day. You’ll be a lot more miserable than what you put those people through.”
-Oh, well thanks for that. But I am sorry because your words mean nothing to me.
James II sarcastically spoke and cut the call.
“F*cking bastard!”
Luke, who was displeased, threw the crystal ball on the floor.
He had been trying to figure out James II since the moment he hit on Reina, James II didn’t really seem like a guy who was going all out for the alliance.
While Luke was alone with his thoughts, Karen went over and asked, “Dad, President Vladimir said he is going to host a banquet as a sign of gratitude. Are we going?”
“No, we need to go to the Navarre Duchy first.”
They haven’t taken down all the Undead. And it wasn’t the time to enjoy banquets either.
“Right? Then I will go and inform mom.”
Nodding, Karen ran over to where Reina was.
Sighing to himself, Luke followed his daughter.
