Chapter 111 – Jainan Canyon #3
&
The superior horse, Caracal, turned his head.
Far from the rainforests surrounding Jainan Canyon.
As soon as she gave birth to the lava giant, she left the forest without looking back and looked towards the Jainan Canyon with a frown.
‘I guess it’s blocked.’
I don’t know what trick he used, but it seemed to almost completely prevent the lava giant from becoming one with the dragon vein and being reborn as the true disaster – the fire giant Kart.
‘Demon Slayer······.’
Jude August Bayer and Cordelia August Chase.
These are people who suddenly emerged in the past year or two, but their activities were greater than those of the leaders of the Holy Cross Guardians.
The damage suffered by both of them was truly enormous, regardless of whether they were the Devil’s Hand or the Devil’s Eye.
‘Haragal.’
A superior mine of the devil’s eye.
He set out for the wild lands to subdue the barbarians and start a war with the Kingdom of Cailun, but not only did he meet a miserable end, he also failed in his mission.
They failed to completely subdue the barbarians, and they wasted the few gates of hell that even the devil’s eyes could see.
It was truly a shocking sight to see an atmosphere of reconciliation emerge between the barbarians and the kingdom, who had been busy growling at each other.
And human casualties.
The number of mines that died fighting under Haragal’s command was in the tens.
Most of them were low-level minions, but that made it even more serious. More than half of the action agents needed to run the organization disappeared.
Haragal was not incompetent.
Since he was a capable person who had accomplished a lot from the beginning, he was given the great task of ruling the wild land.
But it failed.
There was a lot of talk at the time, but now it can be confirmed.
‘Demon Slayer.’
Uder Bayer and Cordelia Chase.
These two people were the ones who started it all.
“under.”
People tend to laugh when they encounter a situation that is too absurd.
Caracal was half mine but half human, and I couldn’t help but laugh.
‘It was a good thing I ran away.’
If Caracal had fought them with the lava giant at the forefront, he would have met the same end as Haragal.
‘Maybe… they really are secret weapons sent from heaven.’
It was a rumor secretly circulating among the devil’s followers.
Because the growth rate of the Demon Slayers was so abnormal.
‘It’s not that it got stronger, it was strong to begin with.’
Up until now, I’ve just been hiding my power.
If it were the Devil’s Hand, who had been observing Uther and Cordelia for a long time, it would have been something they would have immediately denied, but from the Devil’s Eye’s perspective, it was an idea worth considering.
‘Grand Sword Master······.’
At this point, I was really speechless.
A boy who was so dizzy that he couldn’t even go for a walk became a Grand Sword Master in just two years?
This kind of development does not appear even in heroic novels.
The Devil’s Eyes weren’t called the secret weapon of heaven for nothing.
‘Anyway.’
His life was saved, but to be frank, Caracal himself failed.
If I went back, I wouldn’t be able to avoid being held accountable.
But Caracal saw the most positive side of things.
Even without that, the number of mines had already decreased due to the fight against the Holy Cross Guardians, so it would not be easy for them to easily cut off a high-level mine like themselves.
‘Moreover, the opponent is a demon slayer,’
Since there were so many people who suffered from them, there was plenty of room for leniency.
‘We need to focus on the fact that they’re in the West – and in the wilderness at that.’
Demon Slayer was a target of interest to the Devil’s Eye. Once they had secured the fact that two of them were in the west, they had two options.
Either hit where they aren’t, or send powerful forces to where they are.
‘If it’s a top-tier mine or a complete disaster······.’
You can kill them.
No matter how strong you are, there will be limits.
But Caracal couldn’t imagine the Devil’s Eye investing all its energy into capturing the Demon Slayers.
The group of demon followers who had gathered their strength under Archbishop Manuela were currently concentrating their forces in the eastern part of the empire rather than the western part.
The mouth of the devil who conquered the East.
They led a large force and infiltrated the eastern part of the empire, serving the Overlord of Love and Hate, Lilith.
With the help of the Chancellor, they entered the depths of the empire without bloodshed and suppressed the Holy Cross Guardians while eliminating the key figures of the Emperor’s faction in the east one by one.
Even the top-tier demon horn mine, Mine Jabberwock, who is known as a one-man army, has joined, so even if Iron Man Landius or Sword Demon Kamael appear, they will not be easily defeated.
Conquer the East.
Although it failed in the West, it brought true disaster to the East.
‘Let’s go back.’
Caracal, having made up his mind, turned around without any hesitation.
I had no expectations of Naggaroth, the serpent king of the Jaina Valley and the one who had slaughtered countless humans in the past.
What could a monster as large as Naggaroth do in a yard blocked by lava giants?
Caracal let out a sigh and spread his moth-like wings and flew up. He hurriedly headed towards the center of the empire – the islands.

“Wow.”
“Whoa.”
Cordelia and Kirara both exclaimed in admiration at the same time.
As soon as the stone chamber door opened, white light poured in and soon a place that smelled like a treasure trove was revealed.
“Wow, wow, wow.”
Cordelia in particular loved to jump up and down in her seat, and for a simple reason.
‘First discovery!’
Because it was a place that none of the users of Hero Chronicles 2 had discovered.
Because of this, even the rotten water of Hero Chronicles 2, Uther and Cordelia, did not know what was inside the stone chamber or what information it contained.
The thrill of the unknown.
The excitement that it might be a hit.
Cordelia looked back at Uther, her heart pounding, and smiled beautifully again.
Because Uther, like Cordelia herself, had the aforementioned face.
‘Hey, you too?’
‘Oh, me too.’
A first for Uder too.
A place that even Yuder hadn’t discovered.
“Master, please come in quickly. Okay?”
Kirara pulled Cordelia’s arm with sparkling eyes.
I wanted to go in quickly, but I thought it was after Cordelia.
“Okay, okay. Yuder, can I go in first?”
“As much as you want.”
“Hehehe, first place. First place.”
Cordelia, who had shown her obsession with being number one for the first time in a long time, carefully stepped into the stone chamber and soon trembled with delight.
“Ugh, it’s thrilling. It’s so good. This is why being number one is the best.”
Is it that good?
I should have given you first place a long time ago.
But it was cute to see him jumping around excitedly because he didn’t get first place.
How hard I tried to see that.
[The later generations are like perverts.]
It seemed like a little bit of his true feelings had leaked out.
Uder coughed in vain as he looked at Belencia’s cold gaze and belatedly stepped into the stone chamber.
“There are a lot of books.”
From the outside, it looked like a stone chamber measuring only about 5-6 pyeong, but once inside, it was much more spacious than one might have imagined.
The distance from end to end was at least 50 meters, and it was filled with bookshelves as if I was in a large library.
Kirara looked through the books on the shelf, tiptoeing forward, recalling the old storybooks that had been her childhood treasures but were now lost, but Cordelia looked at the books in a slightly different way.
“Wow, my goodness.”
Books that have a magical feel.
Cordelia looked at the bookshelf full of books and exclaimed in admiration again.
“Yuder, Yuuder, Yuuder! These are all dungeon books!”
All the books that filled one bookshelf were dungeon books. There were more than a hundred books, and they were of various types, from basic dungeon books like the dungeon books of the now-reminiscent Baylun Church to advanced dungeon books with a fairly high difficulty level.
“Did the church make it for training purposes?”
When Yuder took out a few volumes and looked through them, it really seemed that way.
“There are also some items made by high elves mixed in. I think they are items collected by the cult.”
The Solari Order was destroyed after a fierce battle with their demon followers.
But that legacy still remains in many places around the world, and this stone chamber was clearly one of those legacies.
“It would be great for raising Lucas. And for Kaisar and Scarlett.”
Now, there didn’t seem to be any dungeon books that would be useful to Uther and Cordelia, but they were enough to train the trio of Lucas, Kai’sa, and Scarlett.
“We all become stronger together.”
Uther, who was watching Cordelia choose books, excited at the thought of raising three people, took another step forward.
Although the dungeon book and various ancient books were certainly a great gain, there was another reason for visiting the stone chamber in the first place.
“The Tomb of Champion Garius.”
A Solari knight who defeated the Demon Prince Raizegang in human form.
When he reached the end of the stone chamber, Uder stopped walking. A sacred painting of Solari, said to be the most beautiful and gentle of the seven archangels of the heavens, filled one wall.
Red-haired archangel.
Goddess of the sun.
After offering a brief prayer to the now-nonexistent goddess, Yuder looked straight ahead again.
I started to decipher the codes hidden in the Holy Fire one by one.

Ambassador Manuela frowned as she sat on her throne.
The Emperor’s flight and the failure of the elf prince Elio, who was difficult to persuade.
It was now only a matter of time before civil war broke out within the empire.
‘Not good.’
What Manuela wanted was a war between the empire and the kingdom.
The civil war of the empire alone was not enough to cause the chaos necessary for the Great Recall.
‘Greater tribulation.’
Hordes of Demon’s Mouth continued to flow through the eastern part of the empire.
The demon followers, who originally each had their own territory and kept each other in check, began to cooperate under his command, and began to display power beyond imagination.
But it wasn’t enough.
As the devil’s followers gathered, the opposing forces were also gathering strength.
Among them, the five heroes of Paragon are particularly annoying.
Even though Druid Fran hadn’t joined yet, the four of them together were already annoying as hell.
Those who should have died originally.
Those who should not have gathered like this now.
Now I know where it all went wrong.
Demon Slayer.
Jude August Bayer and Cordelia August Chase.
Saving Lena, changing Landius’s mind, and saving Belkian’s life were all the work of those two people.
But the Archbishop Manuela did not become obsessed with the two men so easily.
The situation had already become too big.
Rather than focusing on individuals, we had to keep the overall picture in view.
Give up the West and take control of the East.
He sends the disasters he created in the East to the kingdom, causing great tribulation.
As soon as he ends the civil war with the Emperor, he starts a war with the kingdom in chaos.
It was no longer time to save power. He had to mobilize all of his power, including the upper-level mines, the highest-level mines, and even the sealed demons.
‘But it’s still not enough.’
Just a little more.
If only we had a little more power.
Ambassador Manuela glared into the darkness.
He started calculating, fiddling with his fingers.

Archangel Raguel conveyed his will to Crown Princess Daphne and the Empress Dowager of the Empire.
The two women, having heard the heavenly voice, made it clear what they had to do.
The nobles of the kingdom gathered in the center after receiving the summons of the crown princess.
Imperial loyalists loyal to the Emperor gathered in the northern part of the empire.
King Henry III of Caillou did not take his daughter’s words lightly.
After hearing the heavenly voice directly, he finally made up his mind and took action to avoid repeating the same mistake again.
The Emperor followed the Empress Dowager’s words.
He stood before the loyal subjects of the empire together with his mother, whom he trusted and relied on.
Henry III took a breath.
The young emperor clenched his fists and opened his mouth.
Different places.
But at the same time, what’s happening is.
Henry III said.
The young emperor proclaimed.
“War.”
“Let’s get started.”
Year 301 of the Kingdom of Seilun.
Year 517 of the Argonian Empire.
A war was declared that would determine the fate of the continent, the two nations, and the entire Pleiades.
