Chapter 125 – The Archbishop Manuela
“No matter how many times I’m reborn, it’s the same. I’m sure you······.”
&
A torrential downpour of rain came down.
It was heavy and cold at the same time, and it blurred my vision.
Gail let out a hot breath.
The clothes were heavy because they were wet from the rain.
The muddy ground caught my feet.
“Haa- ha-.”
Rainwater and blood flowed together along the blade, entangled with each other and dripping onto the floor.
The sound of the heavy rain drowned out the screams, cries and shouts. No, it suppressed them.
The Prime Minister’s Army was not made up of ordinary people.
The majority of the soldiers were monsters who had become one with low-level monsters, and their fighting power, which had been weakened by fear and terror, overwhelmed the soldiers of the kingdom’s army.
“Vortex of Water!”
A huge whirlpool that arose with a loud voice swept away dozens of ministers. Perhaps because it was water that covered the ground, the blade of water was much more powerful than usual.
“game!”
As the whirlwind swept through the enemies in front of her, Gale was able to look back for a moment.
I saw Adelia looking this way with her pure white wings spread wide.
The angel’s ring on the head always looked good.
But the feeling of pity came first because of the hair and clothes soaking wet from the pouring rain and the panting breath.
How long has it been since the battle began?
Gale was quite familiar with battlefields, having gone on monster subjugation missions with Count Bayer every year, but even for him, this was his first time on a battlefield like this.
“Water Wall!”
Adelia suddenly raised both arms high again and activated her magic.
Then two walls rose from the ground across the battlefield, causing a change in the terrain.
A good wizard on the battlefield isn’t just one with strong attack power.
One who can bring about change in the battlefield itself through the miracle of magic.
Sometimes attacking, sometimes defending, and sometimes changing the terrain like now, one who can change the flow of battle.
In that sense, Adelia was a really good wizard.
“Adelia.”
Although distracting thoughts were forbidden during battle, some things suddenly came to mind.
topper.
Best lover.
Dear wife.
I was able to hear a rough outline of what had happened in the world called the Pleiades from Count Chase.
It was an unbelievable story.
And at the same time, it was a cruel story.
‘Iris.’
Gail’s first fiancée.
First wife.
She died the day after her wedding.
Although she had been sickly since childhood, she had a cheerful personality and smiled a lot. However, she was diagnosed with an incurable disease and had limited time left to live.
That was the last wish she had.
After the wedding, after the first night, she passed away with a haggard face and a smile.
Count Chase said it was not a regression.
But he said that the same history has repeated itself over and over again.
The history of Uther from his birth until he turns seventeen is always the same.
So what was Iris?
She, whose only lifelong wish was to become the bride of an ugly man, what was it that made her die in sorrow, without knowing the world, at such a young age when she could not even think of any other wish?
“game!”
At Adelia’s shout, Gail raised his head.
I woke up from the past and looked at the present again.
Adelia also knew Iris.
Yuder, who was too young and suffered from dysarthria to get out of bed, couldn’t remember clearly, but she, who was in her early teens at the time, vividly remembered a lively and energetic young lady who lived in a nearby estate.
Gail looked at Adelia.
I also recalled other stories I had heard from Count Chase.
“I thought this was the first time.”
Meeting Adelia.
Connection with her.
‘I have to finish it.’
How many times has this madness been repeated?
‘I have to protect it.’
The present time.
The present with Adelia.
Gail took a breath.
I concentrated and simplified my mind.
Protect.
Adelia and the present.
Now, against the enemy before your eyes.
“Uder.”
Gail smiled and reassured Adelia, who was worried, and then turned around again.
Despite the pouring rain, I looked at the huge red pillar of light in the distance.

The rough avalanche danced in a heap.
It wasn’t meant to boost the morale of the soldiers with the cute dance of a little baby bear.
Sure, it did provide visual pleasure to the elves and sorcerers nearby, but its main purpose was something else.
“Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww!”
The shamans of the wild lands danced around the rough avalanche.
The power of the wild gods from that far away wild land was brought to this place.
“Grow up! Grow up!”
The ground shook violently as the rough avalanche beckoned with the golden Dragon King emblem appearing on its forehead.
Bushes and trees sprouted up in an instant, and the empty plains soon became huge forests.
It was a reckless act that upset the balance of nature.
But it was also something that was absolutely necessary right now.
Kwagagagagagagaga-!
The waves that covered the ground suddenly collided with a natural breakwater and shattered.
The wild avalanche danced once more, and the shamans and elven elementals worked to scatter the shattered shards of the storm.
One of the seven plagues mentioned by Uther and Cordelia.
It wasn’t a disaster for nothing.
Even though I had gathered all the power of the wild gods, all I could do was interfere like this.
But the rough snowfall did not give up.
Slowly, but surely, the momentum of the storm was weakening.
It was evidence that the break-and-scatter strategy was working.
“Coming.”
The red gale that had been watching the front narrowed its eyes and spoke.
Because the monsters appeared between the broken stones.
I wondered if it was Noh Do’s own idea or if there was someone else leading the way, but it was the right course of action.
Directly attack the rough avalanche to prevent it from impeding Nodo’s advance.
It was such an obvious and obvious goal, and so Red Whirlwind made sufficient preparations.
“Let’s go, let’s show the power of the wild land.”
I heard the story.
The dire future that the Wild Lands would have faced if Uther and Cordelia had not appeared.
A shitty fate of becoming a puppet of demons and being mobilized for war with the North.
“I can’t allow this anymore.”
The Red Wind, holding a giant axe, laughed ferociously.
He blew the advance bugle and shouted loudly once again.
“Kuraha!”
“Kuraha!”
“Kuraha!”
The warriors of the wild lands responded, and they all gathered their hearts together. Each grabbed their weapon to slaughter the monsters rushing before their eyes.
“Blade song, sing a war song.”
In a far away land the great storm spoke thus.
The sorcerers began to sing, and the warriors remembered the battle on the Snowwind Plains.
Without a word, everyone sang the war song of the great blade song.
They raised their spirits by calling out the names of those who sacrificed themselves for the wild land.
“Go, go, go and tear it apart!”
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The warriors of the wild lands charged in with fury.
Count Hresvelg, who had been watching the scene, raised his sword and ordered the ravens to charge.
Elune also took up her sword.
Although she was badly wounded both physically and mentally from her fight with the First Sword, instead of locking herself in her room and crying, she picked up her sword once again.
Because I never wanted that to happen again.
Because I wanted to protect the elves.
“Uder, Cordelia.”
Elune called out their names as if by magic.
He raised his sword as he advanced toward the horizon.

Fighting escalated in many places.
The Northern Imperial Army, including Sarah and Leon, blocked the Ash Lady’s advance, while the elite of the Guardians, led by the commanders of the Holy Cross Guardians, stopped the advance of the top-tier mine, Jabbawock.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire continent was swept by the telephone.
Great Tribulation.
But it happened so suddenly.
It was not enough to cause a great summoning at this level.
So there was an opportunity.
This time, I was finally able to stop the great summoning.
The young god Atalia clasped her hands together.
I prayed and hoped as one of those living in the Pleiades, not as a god.
Last hope.
At the repeated destruction, even Atalia, the god of the Pleiades, was heartbroken, and at that time, she thought of the following.
One who never gave up.
“Uder.”
Atalia prayed.
I wished for it again.
&
“Fuck, bang! bang! bang!”
The moment the door opened, Cordelia screamed loudly and threw all the remaining bombs with her telekinesis.
And a star shaped explosion.
Gold Star Explosion.
Star-shaped flashes of light filled my eyes.
The light was so strong that it instantly filled the entire space beyond the door.
But it only lasted a moment.
There was light and sound, but no destruction from the explosion.
The leader of the demonic hand guarding the ritual room was Kaira’s power.
As she clenched her outstretched hand, the explosion shrank, concentrated into one point and dissipated.
Overwhelming telekinesis.
It was as expected.
So, right after the explosion disappeared – when the dazzling light disappeared and vision opened up – the demon followers, including Kaira, couldn’t help but lose that moment.
“I’ve tried everything.”
One day before Operation Meteor Streak was launched.
Uther and Cordelia gathered the palace invaders and began their lecture.
“Considering the circumstances, these are the ones guarding the consciousness room.”
Kaira, the leader of the Devil’s Hand.
Tanesia, the leader of the Demon’s Eye.
Ekaterina, the leader of the Devil’s Mouth.
Forte, the great demon, one of the seven swords of Asmodeus.
Even Kamael, who had been fighting against demon followers for a long time, was unaware of their true identity and abilities.
But Uther and Cordelia were different.
[Did you know? I hold the record for the shortest time to defeat Ekaterina.]
As Cordelia sent the message excitedly, Uther smiled and replied.
[I know. I’m the holder of the shortest time to defeat Kaira and Forte, right?]
Cordelia pouts at Uther’s message, and Uther smiles again at her lovely appearance.
[Later, it’s serious.]
Uther wasn’t fazed by Belencia’s sharp remark. It was true.
So, Yuder started lecturing again with a calm face.
Who should fight whom.
How to attack each one.
“Sticky! I’m going now!”
bang!
The flash was literally an illusion.
The moment the door opened, Cordelia used her unparalleled spatial perception to determine the location of her enemies.
At that moment, when the flash blinded everyone, an image was transmitted to all of the party through message magic, and everyone, who had already identified their location with their own eyes, perfectly recognized where they should go through cross-checking.
bang!
The light goes out.
The sound is scattered.
The leader of the Demon’s Hand, Kaira, dissipates the blast.
And by then, everyone in the group was already standing where they were supposed to stand.
“Black thunder strikes!”
Uther became pitch-black lightning.
Catherine, the leader of the Devil’s Mouth, was a servant of Lilith, one of the five great monarchs of Hell.
As an apostle of the powerful Succubus Queen, Catherine also possessed a powerful power of seduction, so anyone who met her eyes, regardless of age or gender, could not help but become her willing slave.
There are two ways to deal with Catherine like this.
One was to fight with your eyes closed, and the other was to take them down with only long-range artillery fire from a considerable distance.
But Uther came up with one more trick.
“Cordelia is the prettiest after all.”
The moment he saw Catherine’s white and beautiful face, Yuder said:
If temptation is the problem, shouldn’t we already be tempted?
[Because it is already a solid successor.]
So much so that there’s no need for any seduction magic.
Uder smiled brightly and responded to Belencia’s cheerful muttering.
“The next prettiest after Cordelia is Valencia. She would be third at best.”
[Yes, yes, anyway, Cordelia is the best, right?]
As Velencia spoke excitedly, Yuder laughed again. He poured the black dragon’s energy on Yekaterina, whose face turned red as if she was excited by the continuous verbal abuse.
Kang!
Forte, the sword demon, blocked Kamael’s sword with his greatsword. However, he had to quickly shake it off and retreat. The cold air from Kamael’s sword tried to consume Forte’s flame.
Forte was an excellent inspector.
And so was Kamael.
Forte is fire. Kamael is ice.
So Forte’s opponent had to be Kamael.
“Light.”
Lena rushed towards Tanesia, the leader of the Devil’s Eyes. Tanesia’s specialty was light magic, but Lena’s original attribute was light and she was a descendant of the lineage of the Angel of the Sun.
Tanesia’s attacks were halved, and Lena wasn’t one to be affected by halved attacks.
And one person.
The leader of the Devil’s Hand – Kaira’s face showed confusion.
Although she was not easily emotional, she couldn’t do anything at this moment. Her face turned pale as she unconsciously took a step back.
“A heart of steel, an unyielding will, a peerless physique.”
It was an incredible telekinesis that could even crush a huge explosion in an instant.
But it didn’t work on the man in front of her.
I tried to crush and crush it, but it bounced off with its steel-like muscles.
“Woooooooooo!”
A man of 2 meters and 30 centimeters tall, wielding a solar blade – no, a man who had grown a little more to 2 meters and 40 centimeters tall, charging forward.
Realizing that directly attacking with telekinesis was meaningless, Kaira quickly tried to destroy the surrounding terrain to use it for her attack, but it was no use.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
His fist will shatter the heavens, and his feet will strike the earth.
Landius didn’t even swing his Solar Blade. He just punched and kicked – that is, he neutralized all of Kaira’s attacks with his normal attacks.
Create a man-to-man situation immediately upon entering, blocking the enemy’s link-up.
Use your favorable odds to corner them.
Cordelia looked straight ahead.
The commanders and archdemons who had been pushed back by Yuder, Landius, Lena, and Kamael were pushed to the corner of the room, and they looked at the subject of the ritual located at the end of the large ritual room – Archbishop Manuela sitting on the heavenly throne and the demons placed between them.
[Shall we go too?]
Cordelia answered Melissa’s question with a smile.
A golden storm engulfed the room of consciousness.
