Chapter 306 (1/2)
It was famous as an intermediate point for renting horses and carriages before entering the Orca Kingdom. The Orca Kingdom set up Orbis as a peace zone to control immortal humans and settled various disputes there. Orbis was surrounded by castles given to immortal humans and there were constant sieges between them. This was why it was the place where the largest number of users was gathered.
At this place, the soldiers of the Orca Kingdom entered.
“This is a royal command. Kill them all!”
The soldiers of the Orca Kingdom committed relentless slaughter. There were many screams.
“W-What is going on?”
“Run away!”
“Kyaaaaak!”
All of them were targeting immortal humans, but they didn’t have the ability to distinguish immortal humans. Therefore, there were many cases where existing NPCs and good citizens of the Orca Kingdom were sacrificed.
“......”
The expression of Kaes, the knight commander of the Orca Kingdom who had received such an order, wasn’t quite right. Now his inner thoughts were very complicated.
‘I’m a knight. A knight must always follow their master’s command...’
He was upright and insisted on always following his principles. He was a loyal knight and a knight should always fulfill their master’s command without hesitation. However, his master’s order currently being carried out by Keas was very confusing.
“Kyaak!”
“......!”
Another delicate woman died. Immortal humans could be distinguished after death. If their body disappeared like it scattered, then they were an immortal human. The delicate woman just bled to death...
“...Keuk.”
Keas gritted his teeth. The soldier had just killed a citizen of Orca, not an immortal human. Keas immediately pulled out his sword. Then he didn’t hesitate to cut the neck of the soldier who killed the good woman.
“K-Keas...!”
The soldier’s head rolled off his neck as he looked surprised.
Keas blinked and shouted at the soldiers around him, “Get rid of only the immortal humans! I will immediately execute anyone who kills a good citizen of Orca! Knights, take the torches and set fire to this place! There can be no more immortal humans here! It is in the name of His Majesty, Leonardo!”
Orbis’ sky burned red.

At Erebos Castle, the Zeus Guild’s base...
Two men sat face to face with a long rectangular table between them. Michael opened his mouth first toward the man in front of him.
“...It is an honor to fight together.”
“That is what I should say. Fate is really unknown.”
“Congratulations on becoming the guild leader. I wish for the development of the Martial Arts Guild.”
“Yes, thank you. In any case, I think it is better to get to the main point quickly. Even now, I heard that Demon King Ashtar is pushing to this place.”
“That’s right. I heard he is coming to Erebos. Maybe he will arrive soon. First of all, can I see the object you mentioned?”
Zhen Sulong nodded at Michael’s words. Then he took something out of his inventory and placed it on the table. It was a pair of huge scissors. Michael examined the information of the scissors in front of him.
[☆Star Piece, Dimensional Scissors of the Executioner of Love]
[Rating: Star Relic

Strength +10, agility +20, knowledge +20
*Scissors of All Things (Passive) - There is nothing that the dimensional scissors can’t cut. It can cut stones, objects, water, roads, and all things. It can even cut the body of a god. The Executioner of Love threw it to the human world, saying that it is an object harmful to the god he worships.]
Michael’s eyes slightly widened as he stared at the Star Piece in front of him. He heard it was something that could kill a demon king, but it was literally a Star Piece with tremendous ability.
“...Tell me what you want.”
Michael looked up at Zhen Sulong. Zhen Sulong had said he wanted something as a condition for fighting Ashtar together. Therefore, they arranged such a meeting.
“I want to ally with Erebos.”
“By ally, do you mean the Forbidden City that you obtained a while ago?”
“Yes.” Zhen Sulong nodded. Not long ago, he was able to get a castle with the support of the Chinese government. The name was the ‘Forbidden City.’ It was a name that the government decided and Zhen Sulong didn’t really like it. However, it was still a territory he should rule.
“Exactly what type of alliance do you want?”
“Honestly, it isn’t economically inconvenient. However, as the distance between the Forbidden City and Erebos City is close, my condition is that we don’t invade each other. If we are in danger, then it is better if we can help each other.”
Michael thought for a moment. Originally, this was Damian’s specialty, but Michael felt like he could make the decision. In any case, it was good for both of them. It wouldn’t be burdensome. Additionally, Damian always made this type of choice.
“Okay. I promise on my name.”
“Good. Please look after me, Sir Michael.”
Michael approached Zhen Sulong and shook his hand respectfully. Just then, the door opened and Reina, the executive of the Zeus Guild entered.
“Now isn’t the time! He is here!”
”......!”
”......!”
Their eyes met and they rushed out quickly. They quickly climbed onto the wall and looked out. Shortly thereafter, they saw a person walking.
Step, step.
Against the backdrop of the blazing sunset, there was a giant with two heads and four arms. It was Demon King Ashtar, who captured five castles alone before coming here.
[The demon king, ‘Commitment to Greed,’ is revealing its presence!]

Around this time, my group was able to enter the Vulcan volcanic zone where the camp was located. I was fine due to my resistance to fire, but it was different for the others. Kerenos and Edward distributed potions that raised fire resistance to the soldiers.
I summoned Punghee to get rid of the hot wind around me while letting her blow cold wind at the same time. Thus, we had a short time to sit and rest.
“S-She is that white weasel?”
