Chapter 213 – The Northern Front 2 (2/2)

“Are you able to move, Asura?”

“I’m fine, Ami.”

Some mental damage still remained, but his body had long been recovered by the Power of Resuscitation.

After checking on those who had fought with him, Woohyuk set out to deal with the beings brought in by the first catastrophe/disaster.

Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwak!

As Brynhildr chanted a divine spell, a spear of pure white light in the air fell on the heads of the beasts and demons.

Those who saw the appearance of this attack fought more intensely with increased morale.

“Wahhhhhhhhh!”

“Victory is before our eyes!”

The battle was over because the Hero King had saved them from the catastrophe/disaster.

The demonic dragons that breathed fire and death from the air and the Awakener who used purple spells and magic were all dead.

Hildegard made a relieved expression after cutting off the head of a monster with her holy sword.

“We finally won. Though, we didn’t do much.”

“I didn’t know that the Hero King possessed Remegeton. It’ll become a little noisy when we return.”

The Seven Paladins could easily recognize Remegeton and its relationship with the 72 Demon Kings.

While Ishley was contemplating how to feel about this contradiction of partnering with a sworn enemy, Hildegard, who had her back against Ishley’s, grinned.

‘She has no idea what the situation is.’

Woohyuk had already taken control of both the Holy Pope’s Office and the Imperial Palace.

So, even if it turns out that he possessed Remegeton, there was no one who could contend against him anymore.

The Seven Paladins were put in a position where they needed to be careful so that they didn’t stick out in Woohyuk’s eyes.

Hildegard looked at Woohyuk as she cut through the remaining monsters.

He was giving orders to the commander-level members of his party.

“Sieg, you ride Grane and defeat the remaining demonic dragons with Brynhildr. The rest of you, focus on subduing the remaining Awakeners in the designated battlefield areas.”

Before leaving for the Northern Front, there was a need for him to increase his force’s power.

The Northern Front would probably prove to be difficult because of the strategic partnership between Alice the Thorn Queen and the Demon King Alliance.

As Woohyuk continued to create an undead army from the fallen forces,

“Have I come all the way here to deal with these small number of monsters? Suddenly, I feel like I’m bringing on my own suffering,” Ibn Rushd, who was slicing through the monsters next to him, spoke with an unpleasant expression.

Then Helena, who heard his deflated words, curtly replied back,

“Shouldn’t you have just stayed back and help Boetius in researching the old documents? Or you could have gone to the Kingdom of Leoness in the East and bring the Nag Hammadi document like a good boy.”

“… You’re so noisy, you dirty witch. I don’t want to hear such words from you. Furthermore, we already sent someone to retrieve the Nag Hammadi document, so don’t speak with such ignorance.”

As a conversation between siblings, their exchange seemed relatively healthy and affectionate.

Soon, as the battlefield was cleared, Woohyuk approached Maria and expressed his gratitude,

“Thank you. Thanks to you, the first catastrophe/disaster has been prevented. I wouldn’t have known of the location if it wasn’t for you.”

“You’re welcome. I just stated what I saw in my dreams.”

It was actually Mary who felt that her life had been saved.

If Woohyuk hadn’t been with her at the time, she and Hildegard would have been taken away by Amon.

Additionally, since more and more people will be targeting her in the future, Maria decided that she needed to stick close to Woohyuk.

“Now, I have to leave for the Northern Front. Once the Enoa Kingdom is taken care of, the West will regain peace.”

“I see. Your pathing makes sense since it was said that the Owen Kingdom in the south drove out the demons on their own.”

After returning to this world two years ago, he had conquered half the Eeth Continent.

Compared to his past, it was a remarkable achievement.

Of course, the overall difficulty rose tremendously, but that was something he could deal with.

‘I need to do at least this much to reach the Divine Throne.’

If it had been to simply re-capture the Eeth Continent, there would have been no need for him to return.

He had continued until now because he wanted to challenge his human limitations and to end the turmoil that plagued this world.

As a result of his newfound perspective, secrets that were previously unknown were revealed, and a vague unclear future was gradually taking shape.

‘Wait a little longer, Leifina. After this war, I’ll go back to see you.’

Was it because of an old relationship?

He and Leifina had long been strongly connected to each other.

In the past, he thought it was just because of a hidden class called Iron Maiden, but now he knew why fate had intertwined them together.

As someone had inscribed into Hevnia’s tombstone, it was all a test of fate.

Although he didn’t remember, he must have repeated this kind of reunion and parting with Leifina countless times.

So, in this life, he had to go beyond his predestined fate and keep his oath when he accepted the Elixir of Urdarbrunn from Pina.

Even if she didn’t remember anything.

“Lord, the soldiers are all gathered. What do we do now?”

“… We’ll move to the capital, Delpheon. If we want to leave for the Northern Front, we’ll have to do some maintenance there.”

While preventing this catastrophe/disaster, the clans under his command had taken enormous damage.

Therefore, there was a need to gather more vassals from his lands.

After giving Sieg his orders, Woohyuk stared at the land beyond the north.

The Alliance of Thorn Queen Alice and the Demon King Alliance…
