00879 Battle Of The East Continent, Four. ————————————————– ———————-=
‘It’s a crossroads… .’
Suddenly, a thought occurred to me. Isn’t this the ‘time to make important choices’ that Ganesha said?
“In the end, it’s a choice. “Either abandon the eastern continent and attack the central continent.”
“Or save the Eastern Continent and destroy the devil.”
Seraph received the words in an agreeable tone.
I was lost in thought for a while, then quietly opened my mouth.
“What is public opinion within Angel?”
“… We unanimously hope for the latter. But please know this. We are not hoping that Su-hyeon will save the eastern continent on a humanitarian level… ?”
When I raise my hand in the middle of speaking, Seraph pauses in confusion.
“I have a few questions, so I’d like you to tell me about them. “Because I was persuaded.”
The decision has already been made. no. Should I say I am confident?
The most important thing now is not to fight each other’s emotions, but to resolve the situation we are facing in the best way possible. The angel promised full support, and the choice became clear. Now all that’s left is to go the way you need to go.
To do that, information is needed. There is a saying that goes, “If you protect yourself, you will never kill anyone.”
“First, tell me about the benefits the devil can gain if he conquers the East Continent.”
“All right. First, in the future, each continent will be able to effectively incite users on the southern continent in relation to the competitive structure surrounding the central continent. “It gives us a plausible cause and at the same time strengthens our bond with each other.”
“That’s not incitement, it’s true… . No, and?”
“The second is the most important. “Do you know, Su-hyeon, that when beings from this dimension descend to the middle world, the total amount of power they can use is limited?”
“To some extent.”
“Then the story will be quick. For example, in this case, demons and demons would have been subject to the law from the moment the summon left the room.”
“You’re not saying there’s a way to break that law, are you?”
“no. No matter what number you use, the law of causality is absolutely immutable. … step.”
When I asked him just in case, Seraph slightly shook his head. However, he added an unsettling twist at the end of his words.
“The power they have available in the middle world. “It is possible to artificially increase the speed at which that strength is recovered.”
Seraph’s words are simple. However, assuming that the original power of the devil is 100, only 20 can be used in the middle world. Second, as soon as the law of causality operates, the devil’s power drops to 1.
In other words, it is not possible to use 20 right away, but it is in an extremely weakened state when it is just summoned. This is what I know so far.
However, it is said that there is a way to artificially increase the recovery speed from 1 to 20.
As I stared, Seraph immediately spoke.
“Su-hyun. Do you remember when the Prince of Hell appeared?”
“… ah.”
At that moment, I finally realized what Seraph was trying to say. At the same time, there is also a map of why the devil wants to conquer the eastern continent.
“No way, they want to use humans as food…” .”
“Yes. Other than that, I don’t think there’s any reason to go to the East Continent. “For humans, especially users, it is the best nutrient for restoring strength.”
“wait for a sec. Then there is no need to go to the eastern continent, right? “There will be more users on the southern continent.”
“Then there will be no reason for us to hold hands. “In fact, there is no possibility of being harmed in the opposite direction.”
Oh, did I say coexistence, not encroachment?
Anyway, let’s assume the worst situation first. As Seraph also said, it would be better to think that they are already advancing to the eastern continent. Since they are being chased, there is little chance that they will still be leisurely on the southern continent.
‘It’s a race against time.’
I was able to feel it instinctively. At this point, time is on our side, and the devil, on the other hand, is running out of time. That’s how desperately Satan wants it. This is a situation where the Northern Continent abandons the Eastern Continent and marches towards the Temple of Promise.
Why?
That way, you can have as much time as you want without any interruptions.
‘I will aim for a return trip and a decisive victory.’
That doesn’t work. Now that I’ve figured it out, I have no intention of letting it move as I want. The North Continent still has the choice.
“Oh, by the way, isn’t the eastern continent still under your jurisdiction?”
“If you are thinking about transferring like you did in the Western Continent, I will tell you that it is quite risky.”
“why? “If it succeeds, it will be countered properly.”
“That’s true, but the current situation on the eastern continent… .”
As I listened to the explanation that followed, my mouth fell open. no. Let alone a new continent, we’ve barely conquered a major city? We took over Barbara a few years ago?
Then the story changes. I wonder if there is a route pioneered during the first invasion like the Western Continent. Unless it’s one thing or the other, it’s as obvious as hell that we’re going to be completely annihilated. There hasn’t been any particular exchange so far, and crossing the continent itself is not an easy task.
… In the end, you have no choice but to go rescue them.
For a while, I couldn’t help but feel like something was bitter in my mouth.
However, he soon got up.
“Okay, I understand.”
I received all the information I needed. All that remains is action.
“Soo, Su-hyeon?”
“I’ll just go back now. “We need to solve the problem with the western continent, and I think we need to hurry to get to the eastern continent.”
“yes?”
“… why?”
When I turned around thinking something was strange, I saw Seraph rising from the altar. He was staring at me blankly with very surprised eyes.
“Have you already made your decision?”
“huh.”
“Well, really, our opinion… ?”
“Don’t be mistaken. I’m not saying that I will unconditionally follow your opinions. “It just happened to coincide with my thoughts.”
I lightly lifted my shoulder and turned around. You can take a long time to think, but once you have made a decision, move quickly. Just as I was about to enter the portal with that thought in mind, I suddenly heard a rushing sound.
and.
“Su-hyun.”
Almost at the same time, my steps came to a screeching halt. Because a soft yet sorrowful hand grabbed my collar. When I turned around with all my might, Seraph was already standing right behind me.
“Are you going to leave like this?” ?”
“what?”
Well, what is it? Are you going to leave? So, it’s like a wife seeing off her husband going to war.
I couldn’t help but open my mouth, taken aback by the sudden change in attitude.
“no. They said it would arrive in ten days. And to organize a relief force on the Eastern Continent… .”
“Let me help you.”
“huh?”
“I told you earlier. “I will help you as much as I can.”
“… … .”
“It just takes ten, no, five minutes. “There is a great way to drastically reduce time.”
The eyes of the Seraph who said that were shining with a stronger light of trust than ever before.

Atlanta.
Istantel Low Clan House.
Thump, thump… .
Han So-young was alone in the room, sitting on a chair with her chin tilted with her left hand. As her eyes stare blankly at the records on her desk, it seems as if she is lost in thought, or as if she is wasting time without much meaning.
Thump, thump… .
Every time you shake the quill held between your index and middle fingers from side to side, a small clanking sound intermittently rings out. Then, suddenly, the quill pen, which had been shaking endlessly, suddenly straightened up. At the same time, Han So-young, slightly raising her eyes, begins to calmly play with her hands.
What on earth are you working so hard to write? I think it’s probably an important issue related to clan administration.
Let’s see. First of all, from the top of the record… .
1. Setting the situation: Me and his dramatic reunion.
Him: Oh, why are you pretending not to know? Have you really forgotten me?
Me: I don’t know. You’ve completely forgotten about Mercenary Lord… .
Him: Haha. Forget it. I really missed you. … ah! Now that things have come to this, can I call you Soyoung from now on?
Me: Well, what? What is that! Ugh! (Here, he hits his mouth hard.)
… … .
… … … … uh?
“Huyu.”
Soyoung Han lets out a long sigh and puts down her quill pen. And it made her blush ever so slightly, like the red glow of her twilight. What else did you write below?
2. Setting the situation: Him and me on the bed. And the woman standing in the crack of her door with astonished eyes.
Him: But you’re dressed pretty s*utty? Did you do that on purpose?
Me: Well, what kind of rude words is that? Be careful what you say.
Him: What? Are you speaking arrogantly? It won’t work. Soyoung, you need to get some education. Take off your pants and underwear right now. Then turn around and lie down.
Me: What? How can you say that! The Mercenary Lord I know is… !
Him: Be quiet! Because this is all Soyoung’s fault. You’re so lewd and lewd that I can’t stand it. So it was you who was at fault.
Me: Nonsense sophistry… ! Oh no! Don’t do this, please! It means that there is Gehenna outside the door!
Him: It doesn’t matter! Now I only have you… !
Me: Ah, ah… ! Ahhh… ! Ahhh, I don’t know, I don’t know, blah blah blah… .
… What is this about?
no. Is this possible in reality?
thud!
At that time, our straight foreheads hit hard against the top of the record. With her head down, the slightly exposed corner of her mouth twitches. The hands I placed on the desk began to tremble as I couldn’t hold them tightly. Even though he wrote it himself, he seems to be so embarrassed that he dies.
It was then.
“!”
Han So-young, who was hitting her forehead in succession, suddenly raised her head.
Ta-da-da-da, ta-da-da-da!
And in that split-second moment when some kind of presence was heard outside the door, as many as three actions took place simultaneously. First, I burned the record with a chant-free spell, straightened my posture like a sword, took out a blank record with nothing written on it, and began to look at it carefully.
So, let’s get everything ready,
“sister! Sister!”
With the sound of the door being kicked, Park Da-yeon appeared making a fuss.
“Why are you making such a fuss again?”
Phew, Han So-young, out of breath, speaks in a somewhat stern voice. She seemed to be a bit irritated because something important was being interrupted. Well, it may be debatable whether delusions can be included in important matters.
Anyway, Park Da-yeon continued to brag without a look on her face, showing no signs of concern.
“Are you up? “Is your sister there too?”
“huh? float?”
“No, are you awake?”
“What did you mean earlier? “Something has popped up.”
This time, it wasn’t an act, his eyebrows were actually furrowed. This is because I did not understand anything about what the other person was saying.
“uh? weird? “That can’t be possible?”
However, Park Da-yeon just pounded her chest as if she was feeling stuffy and suddenly pointed to the window.
“You really don’t know anything? Have you seen it outside? “It was a total mess!”
“… “There’s an uproar?”
“Hamil, the Tower of Magic, Rebirth, Han, New Coran, and even the Northern Alliance. This means that not only the representative clans but also the large clans are gathering at Mercenary Castle… !”
“… … .”
The moment Han So-young finished speaking, he jumped up from his chair. She walks slowly towards the window and tilts her head. We still don’t know what happened, but at least Park Da-yeon’s attitude was difficult to dismiss as a joke.
It was that moment.
To be precise, the moment I curiously looked out the window,
Tiring!
A familiar beep suddenly rings in my ears.
Eventually, Han So-young tilts her chin back with a surprised face, and letters slowly begin to appear in the air.
A message that only Han So-young can see.
