< Chapter 125 - Archbishop Manuela #2 >

“The point is to defeat each and every one of them.”
A day before the raid on the system.
Instead of nodding her head at the words spoken by Uther, who was lying next to her, Cordelia pursed her lips once.
I understand what you are saying.
I also had the enemy’s specs in mind based on the Heroes Chronicles series.
That’s why I knew that Uder’s story wasn’t impossible, that it wasn’t just about optimism.
But I still felt uneasy.
Use compatibility.
Use a strategy.
It was a classic, and something I had done countless times, but I still felt scared.
If you can’t defeat them individually.
If plans go awry.
If the power of the commanders and ambassadors is greater than that of the Heroes’ Chronicles series.
Cordelia was always bright and cheerful.
She was the one who always boosted my confidence by telling me that I could do it.
But this time, I had no choice but to show a weak side.
Instead of pretending to be strong, I revealed my honest feelings in front of no one but Yuder.
“scared.”
fearful.
I’m afraid I won’t win.
I’m afraid tomorrow will be the last.
It was a fight for life.
Moreover, the fate of the world rested on their shoulders.
Cordelia, like Uther, remembered her past life.
But it wasn’t a complete memory.
When I lived as Hong Yu-hee – in my previous life right before that, there was no sense of discomfort.
The past life and the present life were connected as if they were one life.
Cordelia herself was Hong Yu-hee, and Hong Yu-hee was Cordelia.
Since they were two and one from the beginning, there could be no confusion about their identity.
But past lives were different.
I recognized it, but it felt like someone else’s story, as if I had read it in a book.
Although we shared our feelings, there was an inevitable gap.
So the one who was here now was Cordelia Chase, who was only eighteen years old.
Hong Yu-hee was nineteen years old, had just graduated from high school and was about to enter college, but was still unable to drink alcohol freely.
I wish tomorrow never came.
I don’t want to fight a battle that will determine the fate of the world.
I just want to live each day in peace.
“scared.”
There was a hint of moisture in Cordelia’s voice.
Uther caressed Cordelia’s cheek like that. He held her in his arms as she trembled in fear and smiled awkwardly.
After thinking for a long time about what to say, I finally opened my mouth.
“To be honest, I’m scared too.”
Because I’ve faced destruction so many times.
Because I’ve never won even once.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared.
I didn’t want to lose Cordelia.
I wanted to continue this precious day.
I wanted to live in an unknown tomorrow that exists beyond the milestones of history.
“That’s why you have to fight. As Alexei said… If you stay still, you’ll just die. Even if you’re scared and afraid, you have to move. If you don’t do anything, nothing happens. You have to move. Miracles aren’t something that happens, they’re something you win.”
Uder, who had been speaking in an unusually hesitant manner, eventually smiled bitterly. He faced Cordelia, who was looking up at him while holding her tightly in his arms.
“Let’s fight together. It’s scary and terrifying, but let’s fight and win like we always do. Let’s do it well and get married well. Let’s live happily, doing all the things we’ve never done before.”
Cordelia blinked at Uther’s words.
And then he burst into laughter.
“Nose, Cordelia?”
Cordelia laughed even louder as the flustered Uther floundered. She buried her head in Uther’s chest and said,
“It doesn’t suit you.”
“what.”
“No, not like that. It feels like Yuder is a bit more of a realist?”
Rather than talking about dreams, hopes, and tomorrow, list the enemy’s specs and say, “We can win because of this and that. So, there’s no need to be afraid.”
Because this was a more lovable story.
“No, that’s not it either······.”
Because even this appearance now was like this.
Because it was a side of Uther that Cordelia herself loved so very much.
As Cordelia giggled, Uther blushed and made excuses.
“That… Cordelia. As you know, I’m not very good with words, right?”
“Pfft!”
Cordelia burst into laughter again.
Who says there’s no one around to talk to these days?
A conman like no other in the world?
As Cordelia continued to laugh, Uther made a complicated and subtle expression, but soon laughed along with her.
Anyway, I was happy if Cordelia smiled.
“Cordelia.”
“Yeah, Yuder.”
“Let’s win.”
“Yeah, let’s win. Let’s win and live happily ever after like in a fairy tale. And from then on, the two of them were happy forever. You know?”
At Cordelia’s words, Uther nodded again and glanced around.
He whispered softly in Cordelia’s ear.
“If you come back alive······.”
I’ll use the overdue wish ticket.
I’ll definitely come back alive, if only to write that.
“What do you wish for?”
At Cordelia’s words, Uther smiled brightly and whispered again, and Cordelia blushed. She patted Uther’s chest and said,
“transformation.”
“No, what are you talking about that could mislead the listener. When did I ever make a strange wish?”
“Anyway, he’s a pervert. He’s a pervert. Yuder is a pervert.”
Cordelia giggled and pinched Uther’s cheek.
After a while, he opened his mouth again.
“Hey, Yuder.”
“Yes, Cordelia.”
“Let’s win.”
The fight of tomorrow.
Uther nodded and hugged Cordelia tightly once more.
“Woooooooooo!”
Cordelia looked straight ahead.
I renewed my promise from yesterday and pulled out the hidden card that I had been hiding.
“Power of darkness!”
Cordelia’s white wings turned pitch black.
It was a power inherited from a witch.
It was the so-called dark power that took advantage of the darkness and wealth that was prevalent in the world.
‘Honestly, I thought I wouldn’t be able to use it at all.’
Preparations have been underway for a long time, but why hasn’t it been completed?
When I thought it was finally finished, the final battle was right around the corner.
‘Still, that’s fortunate.’
Because I can use it at least in the final match.
If I hadn’t been able to use it at all, I would have died of resentment!
“Hit it! Hit it! Hit it!”
Storm!
Black sun blizzard!
The golden storm was joined by pitch darkness.
The power of darkness naturally broke through the demons’ defenses, and the divine power of the sun directly affected the spirits and bodies of those revealed in this way.
“Kuaaaah!”
The demons began to melt like snow.
Any proper resistance was impossible.
“You’re not a fallen angel!”
He was not an angel who fell into darkness, but an angel who used the power of darkness.
That’s what it seemed like, but there was a huge gap between the two.
Uses the power of darkness and the divine power of the sun together.
This makes it much more effective at sweeping away demons!
“Manuela!”
Cordelia roared and glared at the celestial throne.
He glared at the Archbishop Manuela, who was sitting with her head bowed, and took a step forward. He advanced with the storm.
“Black Dragon Wave Heaven!”
Pitch-black dragons burst through the space and pounced on Catherine.
When her seduction did not work, Yekaterina panicked and quickly deployed a magic barrier to block the Black Dragon’s Heavenly Kingdom, but that was the limit.
By opening the Eight Gates, Yuder had already surpassed the leaders of the demon followers with just his specs.
In the meantime, since Yekaterina’s strongest weapon, seduction, was not working, there was no chance of Yekaterina winning from the beginning.
“The Sun’s Heart Attack!”
Yuder’s fist landed on Yekaterina’s side, who had barely managed to block the Black Dragon’s Heavenly Sword.
Simple physical force alone was enough to break the bones and muscles of Ekaterina, who had already been turned into a mine, but there was something more to it.
A solar blast that penetrates the opponent’s defenses.
The power of the Black Sun caused a huge explosion within Ekaterina’s body.
“Ugh!”
Yekaterina, who was hit by Yuder’s fist and thrown back, spat out blood.
It rolled on the ground without even having time to spread the giant bat wings sprouting from its back.
And then Uther kicked the ground again.
Although I was able to resist Catherine’s seduction by being under a strong seduction spell beforehand, I honestly couldn’t last long.
Ekaterina wasn’t the leader of the Devil’s Mouth for nothing.
As the incarnation of Lilith, the Great Monarch of Love and Hate, her seduction was absolute, and once you were caught, there was no way to escape.
So, remove it before that.
Before he could tempt the other party members who were not immune to temptation, before the barrier he had built himself collapsed.
Uther turned his fist into a capital.
He mercilessly pushed Ekaterina, who was barely able to get up, into a corner.
’30 seconds to go.’
Ekaterina, who had given up on temptation, turned her magic to strengthening her body and began to fight off Yuder’s attacks, albeit with difficulty.
So, Uder started to collect the swords.
Due to the absolute power of seduction, Catherine rarely had the chance to engage in close combat. Even though she had greatly enhanced her physical abilities by becoming a succubus queen, it was impossible for her, who was inexperienced in close combat, to block the attacks of those who had reached her horizon.
The attack flows.
As if it were a lie, it penetrates all of Ekaterina’s guards and lands effective strikes on all of her vital points.
’20 seconds to go.’
I had to defeat Catherine and help the others.
By Uther’s own calculations, the showdown between Kamael and the Archdemon Forte was even.
Lena was somewhat pushed back by the leader of the Demon Eyes, Tanesia. Her only option was to stall for time with defensive fighting.
‘It is highly likely that the ambassador will not be able to move due to the ritual.’
And it really happened.
Cordelia was dealing with a multitude of demons, not Archbishop Manuela.
Hurry up.
Defeat Catherine as quickly as possible and help Cordelia.
And one person.
The man who is at the core of Uder’s plan and, as always, produces results that surpass calculations.
“You’re weak.”
At Landius’ declaration, the leader of the Devil’s Hand, Kaira, gritted his teeth.
Although she was not easily emotionally shaken, she couldn’t help but waver in front of the monster before her.
What on earth does that mean?
The Red-Haired Warrior – I knew full well that the Paragon hero, Iron Man Landius, was a powerful being.
But it exceeded expectations.
I couldn’t even imagine that there was such a strong being.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Throwing a rock the size of a house was useless.
With a light swing of the fist, everything was destroyed.
“Eww!”
Applying force from outside using telekinesis was also meaningless.
It was absolutely impossible to harm that steely body.
So I tried to do it from the inside.
But that was also impossible.
The boundless power of the sun completely neutralized the telekinesis of none other than Kaira herself, the leader of the Hand of Demons.
I tried using the power of the curse as well, but that was also impossible.
Landius was the sun.
The power of the dark curse melted away in an instant before the power of the mighty soul.
A literal monster.
It is only natural that the Archbishop Manuela was so wary of this being.
“Eww!”
But that doesn’t mean I can just back off.
Kaira opened her eyes, which had always been closed.
He opened the magic eye he had received from Asmodeus, the lustful one, and used all his might. An incredible amount of magical power came out from the six horns that sprouted from his head.
If you can’t break the body.
If it is impossible to destroy it from the inside, and if it is impossible to attack using the object itself.
Push out.
I’ll use my telekinesis to pick him up and throw him away!
That was correct.
But Landius had anticipated such a choice as well.
I strengthened my hands as I watched Kaira’s telekinesis surge forward like a storm.
He swung the Solar Blade, which he held tightly, as if he was throwing it away.
KWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH …
The sword of the sun cuts down all things in the world.
No, it crushes everything with the momentum of a hurricane.
Telekinesis has been dissipated.
It wasn’t a vein.
I was overcome by the tremendous power created by the Solar Blade.
Electricity liberalization.
Landius did not spare his strength.
He used all his power at the moment he needed it, and Kaira was unable to receive Landius’s power.
“Cough!”
Kaira was thrown nearly ten meters and crashed into a wall, spitting out blood.
And then there was Landius before her eyes.
Immediately after swinging the Solar Blade, he kicked the ground to chase after Kaira, who had been thrown away, and he had already arrived in front of Kaira.
This time, a fist.
A full-fledged one-shot.
The ultimate sun god technique.
The ultimate.
The fist made contact.
The sun shattered Kaira’s body.
It collapsed the entire wall her back was against, and also caused the ground to collapse.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Chain of destruction.
Ripples that can reach tens of meters in diameter.
The area below Kaira’s chest where Landius’ fist touched was completely destroyed.
Kaira fell still and didn’t move, and Landius caught his breath.
Landius could tell.
Yuder was pushing Ekaterina.
I was on the verge of taking her down.
The fight between Kamael and Forte was escalating.
Asmodeus was the greatest swordsman in Hell, and his skill with one of his seven swords, Forte, was beyond compare.
Even though he was superior in terms of compatibility, it was impossible for Kamael to subdue him in one breath.
Lena was being pushed.
But she, who was good at defense from the beginning, did not lose her composure.
Rather, it was Tanesia who felt anxious about Kaira’s disappearance.
So Landius turned his head.
Cordelia was creating a storm of light, causing explosions in all directions.
She was the key to Uder’s plan.
The battlefield was split apart by the explosions she was causing.
Enemies could not fight together in force, and individual attacks like the one we have today became possible.
Cordelia was pushing the demons away.
But she was getting tired from using so much magic power in such a short period of time.
Landius took a breath.
I didn’t wait any longer.
The moment Yuder cut off Ekaterina’s neck, he kicked the ground.
“Manuela.”
The evil mastermind who brought about the destruction of the Paragon Kingdom.
Landius rushed towards him as he sat on the heavenly throne.
