okay. I wanted to hear something like this.
The sword of brilliance that got stuck in the evergreen tree of God when I accidentally made a wish.
There was no news for a while, so I was worried that the Sword of Radiance wasn’t that important.
Judging from the fact that something suspicious was detected in Duke Brudel’s movements, it seemed like he was planning to come to God’s Evergreen Tree in search of the Sword of Radiance, as expected.
“It looks like everything is going according to plan.”
“Yeah, not yet. I just hope this doesn’t become a new threat.”
Klaus narrowed his brows and answered heavily.
I didn’t think Duke Bruedel would come to God’s evergreen tree without a second thought.
Maybe there will be a big storm near the capital, which is close to the origin of the world… … .
“……I think we need to prepare lightly for now.”
Klaus also nodded emphatically in response to my answer.
“We need to establish more secure security around the capital.”
“yes.”
For now, this was the best.
Since both the West and the North were currently at war, it was not easy to make further plans here.
As if to brighten the dark atmosphere, Klaus clapped his hands.
“It’s okay. Don’t be too nervous.”
“I wasn’t nervous.”
Because I knew how Klaus felt, I smiled and set the mood.
Archangel Del ground his teeth.
“Damn, how did this happen!”
It was within expectations that the North did not suffer any damage from the monster invasion.
The West’s power was much stronger than expected.
It was a problem that could be solved somehow if he added a little more strength to the Elyos army.
However, the disappearance of the Sword of Radiance was a completely different matter.
“You will hinder me until the end!”
Dell was sure.
The power of God was evident.
Without the power of God, the Sword of Radiance, combined with the Elyos and the Soul, could not have disappeared without the knowledge of mice and birds.
If it had been a normal Del, he would have noticed much sooner that the Sword of Radiance had disappeared.
However, unlike usual, Del has now realized that the Sword of Radiance has disappeared.
“Because of those stupid things…!”
The cause was simple.
The Elyos avoided conflict with the Western Guard for various reasons, and instead of sending out the Elyos army, they only sent out Lariat Sebes.
Dell has said several times that sending out only Lariette is a risky choice.
However, there were not many Elyos who accepted the opinion of Del, who had already lost trust.
And Del, who was too busy wasting time on such a meaningless fight, now found out that his sword, which was like his alter ego, was gone.
bang!
Del couldn’t get over his anger and slammed his fist on the nightstand.
As a result, by sending Lariette Sebes to the battlefield alone, the Elyos lost a reliable mercenary.
The stupid ones liked that one of the strong knights on the human side was in a state of death.
However, in Del’s view, if Lariat Sebes had been utilized better, greater damage could have been inflicted on the empire.
There are demons who always commit destruction, gods who side with such demons, humans who struggle to survive at all costs, and even angels who cannot distinguish between profit and loss.
Everyone felt like Dell’s enemy.
“……It is right for this world to be destroyed.”
Del muttered through gritted teeth.
I couldn’t find a reason why a world full of wrong things should be maintained.
“To destroy the world, we must retrieve the Sword of Radiance.”
A sword of brilliance nicknamed a gift from God to the Elyos.
Without the Sword of Radiance, the world could not be destroyed.
Del’s power has been weakening day by day since he descended on the Human World.
It was because he had influenced the human world after he became human and came down.
Because it had been influencing indirectly, it still had some vitality left, but even if it scraped together the remaining vitality, it could not have a significant impact on the world.
What made up for Del’s lack of strength as an Elyos was the Sword of Radiance, a treasure trove of the heavens.
It was thanks to the possession of the Sword of Radiance that Del was able to plan one last blow to destroy the world even though he had used up almost all of his life force.
In other words, without the Sword of Radiance, Del’s life force could not have collapsed the world.
“…But this is a trap.”
Del muttered.
I don’t know if it’s a god or a human, but someone who didn’t want the world to be destroyed took Del’s Sword of Radiance.
The owner could roughly feel the location of the Sword of Radiance combined with the soul.
The enemy probably predicted that Del would come looking for the Sword of Radiance.
So, it was clear that where the Sword of Radiance was located, there were many layers of measures to catch Del.
“We must get it back, so we might have to step into a trap.”
But Dell had no hobby of setting traps even though he knew they were traps.
If you have no choice but to enter a trap, you can make it inoperable.
To do that, we needed to know who set up this trap.
Del, who was chewing his lip, slowly nodded.
“Yes. You are the first prince.”
The first prince, Klaus Ertikef, came to Duke Brudel’s residence and used the divine power to stop time.
It was clear that he had once again used the power of God to steal the Sword of Radiance.
God was not yet connected to the world, and the demons and elyos could not exercise power over each other’s reports.
So, the only one who could do something like this was a child of God.
“If the first prince had a hand in it, would it be a treasure trove for the royal family?”
Del quickly regained his senses.
I could roughly feel the location of the objects that were connected to my soul.
But then Del frowned.
“One is the royal family’s treasury, and the other is the source of the world?”
In addition to the Sword of Radiance, there were several other items that were connected to Del’s soul.
Among them, Del was able to easily figure out what Klaus would have gotten his hands on.
“You got the Coin of Insight.”
A Coin of Insight used when killing Duke Brudel to obtain the Human Split Shell.
By using the coin, Del was able to completely disguise his identity as the Duke of Bruedel.
A coin of insight was placed on the body of Duke Brudel, and the first prince must have found it.
“One is my sword, and the other is a now useless coin.”
Is this also a trap?
If you’re lucky, it won’t be a trap; if you’re unlucky, it will be a trap.
However, there wasn’t much opportunity left for Dell to rush in and hope for luck.
Maybe, if I couldn’t get the Sword of Radiance back this time, I might just use up all my vitality and disappear.
In the face of world destruction, on which he had risked everything, Del had no choice but to be cautious.
“……What should I do?”
How much did you worry about that?
Del slowly got up from his seat.
A decision has been made.
“……Find the Sword of Radiance and completely destroy the origin of the world.”
To do so, he will use up his last vitality and bring chaos to the imperial castle.
The power was not enough to destroy the world, but it was enough to stain the castle with death.
In the midst of the chaos, he finds the Sword of Radiance and shatters the roots of the world.
He will die the moment he destroys the source, but the Elyos will continue the fight.
If the connection between God and the world is completely severed, the continued storms will eventually lead to the destruction of the world.
Humans are weak and stupid beings.
“Child of God, I wish you had joined hands with me like that. At least you could have faced death comfortably before seeing such a tragic scene.”
Del smiled bitterly as he remembered Klaus, who had clearly fallen for the devil’s trick.
The imperial castle became chaos in an instant.
A cloud of blood hung over the capital, centered on the imperial castle.
The red rain of death fell from the sky where a literal wind of blood was blowing, staining the earth with the scent of blood.
Both people and animals had to go inside the house and lock the door.
Crops and land covered in blood falling from the red sky lost their vitality, and death began to color every corner of the city.
Where the blood passed, death remained, and where death settled, insults toward the dead bloomed.
The soul of the dead person could not fall down and rose up in its place.
The outer shell of the falsely created dead was like black smoke.
As layers of smoke piled up, a darkness that was breathtaking to even look at was left in place.
The darkness slowly advanced towards the gate, blaspheming the dead.
The shell that was not properly created was very weak, but since it numbered in the tens of thousands, it could be said to be threatening.
They soon became an army of ghosts and surrounded the imperial castle.
“Very bad.”
Klaus buried his face in his palms, looking at the red raindrops falling past the closed window.
A dark shadow could be seen on his face as he gritted his teeth.
“So the Elyos army is coming to the imperial palace now?”
“It seems different from the Elyos army. First of all, they have no cognitive ability.”
“Then isn’t it more dangerous? What if it’s something like the strange plot that Duke Sebes was plotting?”
I’ve never seen a story about ghosts or zombies, but you never know, right?
Klaus shook his head again at my words.
“The shape is not fully formed. It has no attack or defense power.”
Klaus’ expression was heavy, but his voice did not lose its strength.
“It seems Duke Brudel didn’t have enough strength left to create spears and armor suitable for those souls.”
“That’s right! I just created a cloud of blood covering the capital, so it’s funny even if I still have more strength!”
I pointed to the sky and stamped my foot.
I didn’t think Duke Brudel would invade the empire without any measures.
However, I never thought that it would appear and cause such a big surprise.
“Using this much power means you’re willing to take your own life!”
