Chapter 447
– Kwakwagwagwang!
Antirianus watched from a distance as a meteor created a huge shockwave in the sky above the temple and was fragmented.
The time is broad daylight.
However, as if the mirror of the sky had been shattered, the meteors pouring from the cracks in the sky that illuminated the dark void fell and shattered towards the temple.
“Indeed, it is a beautiful power… … .”
-bang! Kwak! Kwa Kaka Kakang!
The Temple’s active barriers were so hard and thick that they held back enough meteorites to burn quite a few villages to ashes.
Indeed, it deserves to be called the second safest place among the lands of men.
-Kyaaaaaagh!
-Gwoaaaaaaaaaaaa!
-Kyaaaaaaagh!
– Aaaaaaa!
And Antirianus was looking at the huge number of monsters pouring out of the warp gate, which had changed from the usual blue light to red like flames.
Heterogeneous monsters were pouring out and killing people.
imaginary dimension.
A phenomenon in which clumsy life created in a non-existent dimension rushes into the existing world to exist.
The worst disaster created by imperfect Akasha.
destruction begins
“More than I could have imagined… … .”
Antirianus was watching the scene with satisfaction, as if he had been expecting much, but had seen more.
-Kooung!
Antirianus admired the majestic sight of the falling meteors crashing into the temple.
* * *
Silence still hung in the headquarters.
The demon king predicted a disaster, but the disaster had already begun.
However, the Demon King tells us the answer to the disaster that has begun. He tells you how to solve it.
“This disaster must have occurred not only in the ecliptic, but throughout the continent.”
“The larger the gate, the more dangerous monsters will appear. So, breaking the super-large warp gate should be a priority.”
“And as you all know, the ecliptic has the most warp gates on the continent.”
“So, the longer the action is delayed, the more people will die.”
“There won’t be such strong monsters from small warp gates, but as the number is a number, it would be better to give up small and medium-sized villages or strongholds that are not equipped with proper troops or armaments.”
“Probably most countries will fail, and the only ones that will function properly are the capitals and stronghold cities of empires and powerful vassals like Kernstadt.”
“By securing safety around those places, and then sorting out the untreated gates one by one. That’s how you’ll have to deal with the situation.”
“I like moving fast.”
“You have to think that if you move one minute late now, the later reconstruction of humanity will be delayed by a year or even ten years.”
The demon king did not blame the humans for causing this situation.
The situation has already happened.
The Empire’s most elite troops are all gathered in this place.
The Ecliptic has the most warp gates on the continent.
If not acted upon quickly, the scale of the disaster would have been such that the imperial capital would be reduced to ashes. Meteors were pouring down to destroy the Temple.
Everyone was listening to the demon king’s words, lost in spirit.
If this was planned to destroy humanity, there is no reason to tell them about it.
Whether or not that statement is false can be determined by destroying the warp gate.
Disaster has begun.
If we face this kind of thing in a state where neither the cause nor the reason is known, the scale of the damage increases over time.
Or, by any chance, is it because he knows that destruction cannot be avoided if he is informed?
No, there’s no reason to be.
If it makes people mistakenly believe that this situation only happened in the ecliptic, the empire will have to face a world that has been reduced to ashes later.
It’s difficult to contact in a situation where all warp gates have stopped activating.
Humanity suffers even greater damage by dragging out time, so there is no reason to say that this catastrophe is continent-wide.
Everyone in this room feels it.
Even though the demon king’s subordinates did this, the demon king truly did not want to face this situation.
Isn’t that why we are giving humanity the answer?
The emperor gritted his teeth.
Even if everything else is unbelievable, you must believe the words of the demon king about the disaster that has already happened.
If the demon king was really for the sake of mankind, then the demon king could not be killed. Because there might be something else you know.
But I can’t let it go like this.
It is certain that something will happen, but if the empire collapses like this, the empire will end.
However, in a situation where it is presumed that a disaster threatening the entire continent beyond the ecliptic has occurred, the forces that can be devoted to the demon king are limited.
“Sir Tana, sir, stay with the 1st Division.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Shanapell, all troops except for the 1st Division, and the Imperial Magicians are following me.”
The problem of the demon king is also a problem, but now the situation is that the ecliptic may evaporate.
If the best of them waited for the Demon King’s surveillance in a place like this, the empire might disappear.
In an instant, the troops withdraw as if the tide is falling. The emperor and Bertus also left.
Olivia Ranze also looks at the Popes of the Five Major Churches with a firm expression.
“We also have to deal with this situation. The popes and the head of the church, please respond quickly to this situation.”
Olivia says that with a hard expression, but all the Popes, including the Templar Commander, know what Olivia’s intentions are.
A serious expression, but looking at the corners of Olivia’s lips, which twitch subtly.
It was because I thought I knew what that woman was thinking in this bizarre situation.
However, just as the emperor had no choice but to leave, he couldn’t just watch this situation.
Right now, the emperor needs the power of the Paladins, Priests, and Popes.
Something must be done before the damage spreads any further.
“let’s go.”
The Holy Knights and the Popes of the Five Major Churches left.
Only the commander of the Knights Templar, including Ileion Bolton, and the troops under his direct control remained in place.
In an instant, few people remained.
Scarlett and Saviolin Tana stand right next to Reinhardt.
Olivia Ranze.
Ellen Artorius.
However, in a situation where you did not know what would happen to the demon king, the best of Chanapell as well as Ileion Bolton were in a situation to keep their positions.
Despite the circumstances, they were fully prepared for an unexpected attack or contingencies.
Even if Olivia Ranze tried to do something out of the blue, it was possible to deal with it.
of course.
This is under the premise that Olivia Ranche is the only one who is trying to do something out of the blue.
Time passes in silence.
In a situation where meteors are pouring down on the temple and monsters appear in the ecliptic.
They were enduring an anxious time with only the duty of monitoring the demon lord.
Olivia looked at the situation with an expression that did not know what she was thinking, and Ellen was watching the situation biting her lip.
Saviolin Tana stood by Reinhardt’s side, holding on to her seat.
-bang!
Suddenly, the entrance door burst open like an explosion, and the troops guarding the outside poured in.
They were all dead with deep sword wounds.
Then a middle-aged man with a bleak impression entered.
“Epinhauser… … ?”
Saviolin Tana stared in disbelief as Epinhauser slowly walked in, sword in hand.
also.
-Slowly
Steam gathered in the air for some time, and this time a silver-haired girl appeared from the other side.
“He… … ?”
“!”
A silver-haired girl in the first year of Royal Class.
Olivia and Ellen couldn’t help but widen their eyes at the sudden appearance of the girl.
no wonder.
As soon as he entered school, the girl who was close to Reinhardt raised both hands to the sky.
– Quagga gagagak!
In an instant, numerous ice windows formed on the ceiling slammed into the ground, blocking the path so that they could not move.
“this… … . what… … !”
And that wasn’t all.
Suddenly, Scarlett, who was by Reinhardt’s side, lifted the chair Reinhardt was tied to and blew it towards Epinhauser.
The flying Demon King widened his eyes.
“Sarke… … Gar… … ?”
The red-haired girl speaks in a strange voice.
“You must survive, my dear.”
Eye contact with Scarlett but not Scarlett, Reinhardt gritted his teeth.
– Knock!
“Kuk!”
Epinhauser grabbed the chair to which the demon king was tied and put it down, then swung his sword a few times to release the restraints and broke the handcuffs just by grabbing and twisting them with his bare hands.
“teacher… … ?”
Reinhardt looks at him in disbelief.
“There is no time to talk much.”
Epinhauser, who still had a desolate impression and did not feel the slightest acknowledgment, handed over the firework of the fire that he had figured out how to retrieve.
The silver sword in Epinhauser’s hand was burning with blue magic.
Sword Master, says Epinhauser.
“Go, Reinhardt.”
-bang! Cacan! Kang!
“I hope the order… … ?”
“It has nothing to do with the order.”
Epinhauser said that and stood in front of Reinhardt.
Things that have nothing to do with the order.
Reinhardt was even more shocked by Epinhauser’s words. Epinhauser, according to his temper, did not add anything tickling.
Lucinil was already in the middle of being attacked by wizards and knights attacking him.
Tana couldn’t understand the situation, but she was already running towards Epinhauser.
-bang!
However, before Tana’s charge could reach Epinhauser, he was hit by someone’s charge and rolled on the floor.
“Royard… … ?”
A white-haired woman dressed in tattered rags looked at the demon king and said,
“Lowering.”
-woodeuk
“Right now, you only have to think about surviving.”
Seeing Loyard transforming into a white wolf, the Demon King gritted his teeth.
Shanafel’s 1st division.
The commander of the Knights Templar and his direct unit.
power is still low.
Whether the devil intended this disaster or not, if this disaster was planned by the devil’s subordinates, as the devil said, this would have happened in the end.
Whether the demon king is good or evil is not a matter for judgment at this point.
The Empire had no choice but to withdraw its troops.
So, the scheduled rescue operation began.
Saviolin Tana must not lose sight of the Demon King.
Didn’t the emperor leave the strongest man of mankind here in order to prepare for an eventuality?
A knight of Shanapell who does his duty must do it.
she carries out orders
“Don’t miss the Demon King!”
At Tana’s cry, they all start moving.
Reinhardt was followed by Epinhauser and Lycan Slope.
The demon king stumbles and gets up.
The shackles were lifted.
The demon king sees Sarkegar, who freely transforms his appearance and attacks wizards while flying around, Lucinil, who reconciles with steam and attacks the surroundings with magic, and Loyar and Epinhauser, who block the rushing knights. .
Olivia has a firm expression on her face and moves as if she knows what to do.
-thud!
Olivia Ranze, who stepped on the advance, ran toward Reinhardt as if flying.
Soon, Olivia Ranze, who caught up with Reinhardt, grabbed Reinhardt’s arm and left.
Ellen Artorius watched this scene of disaster, chaos, and the demon king’s escape at the same time, not taking sides with anyone.

[Special Achievement Achievement ‘Completion of Cause and Effect’]
[Acquire 50,000 Achievement Points.]
[Perk ‘Status Purchase’ has been activated.]
[From now on, 5,000 achievement points can be exchanged for 1 status point.]
“run. Run, Reinhardt. You have to run.”
Olivia takes my hand and runs.
There is no such thing as time to delay.
There is no point in shouting that you don’t have to do this to save me.
I thought death was best.
I thought it would be best if I died and prevented this from happening.
However, I didn’t die.
In doubt and suspicion, people didn’t kill me or couldn’t kill me.
The people who tried to trust me as much as the people who doubted me and felt betrayed made my lifeline cumbersomely long, and this is what happened.
I tried to solve something by dying, but I couldn’t solve it in the end.
So this happened.
In despair, I have no intention of dying, claiming that it is all my responsibility.
I tried to prevent the worst with my death.
I was trying to achieve something with death.
However, I didn’t die when I should have.
Now, death can’t accomplish anything.
So I have no intention of forcibly seeking death.
have to live
Alive.
I don’t know what to do with my life.
but.
A life exchanged for countless deaths.
If it were a life that would be forcibly exchanged for countless lives.
can’t give it away
You cannot waste countless lives that will die worthlessly and will die worthlessly.
I can’t waste my life that will die because of me.
Even if this situation I’m in is unfair, resentful, or sad.
can’t die
I have to live and find out what I can do.
After struggling in despair, I can’t blame myself for being useless, saying that I was a person who shouldn’t exist.
It was like that until a little while ago, but it can’t be like that anymore.
The sight I saw was something I couldn’t have imagined even when I imagined hell.
-Kurrureung
There was a crack in the barrier surrounding the temple, and the meteors pouring through the crack hit the ground.
In the sky beyond the temple, unidentified flying beasts were flying, spewing red flames or terrifying white frost.
A disaster on a different level from when Razierne attacked the Demonic Church was unfolding.
Is the world perishing?
The Gate Crisis happened even earlier than originally planned.
There is no point in regretting that nothing would have happened if I had stayed still.
I regret that it would have been fine if I hadn’t done anything, and I can’t expect to go back to the past.
We must go forward.
I don’t know what to do in front of it.
Because I have to live
I run with Olivia.
Who will die in the fight and who will survive.
The knights of Chanafell are following me. It is a body that has been broken due to a fairly long prison life, but for now, I have to do what I can.
The concept of buying status with achievement points.
The most important ability is horsepower.
The higher the magic power level, the stronger the magic power increases my overall physical ability.
In other words, an increase in horsepower alone has the added effect of increasing all other physical abilities as well. Therefore, mana effectively corresponds to the highest status.
Invest achievement points in magic power.
Due to the increase in magical power by about 10 in an instant, the magical power level rises from A-rank to S-rank at once.
This is already the amount of magical power comparable to that of quite a few archmages.
By investing more points, he could become a monster with magical energy that surpasses even Saviolin Tana, but I’m putting it on hold for now.
If this happens, will you hear that this filthy demon king was hiding his power too?
I don’t have time to think about that.
In an instant, the amount of mana increased tremendously, invigorating my exhausted body along with strengthening my mana. Even though my physical abilities have declined because I haven’t eaten well, it’s not that my magic power has been damaged.
You have to leave the template.
Even if you don’t know what to do when you go out, you have to go out.
However, no matter how much my magic power increased, the ones following me were the knights of Shanapell, made up of sword masters.
They catch up with me soon.
They are attacked with pincers in a game where they do not know whether they can win even with a pincer attack.
Even if you use Alsbringer, you are inferior. Even if he fought alongside Olivia, it was the same.
Are you going to get caught and die?
like this?
Are all sacrifices meaningless?
in front of me running like that.
In the town of the temple where it becomes a quarrel.
As if blocking my path, someone stood there.
– Pajik! Dismissed! Kururrureung!
“He… … ?”
“liana… … .”
Liana de Granz was glaring at me, shooting blue sparks from all over her body.
okay.
As long as you know that I am the demon lord, you won’t be able to forgive me.
Rather, I wondered why it hadn’t appeared earlier.
It felt like a set procedure for Liana to block my path in order to kill me.
Blitz is instantaneous.
It’s almost impossible to avoid.
Even Liana’s electric shock, which has risen to its peak, cannot be avoided. Even if she manages to hold out somehow with her magic-enhancing defense, she will be caught in pursuit by the Shanapell Knights who will follow her.
die or be captured.
I can’t escape her shock.
Just like that, right before I tried to stop my desperate steps.
From Liana’s outstretched hand, a bright blue light was fired with a fierce electric current.
– Kwareung! Quarreung!
Listening to the shockwave tearing through the atmosphere, Olivia and I couldn’t help but lose our nerves.
A bolt of lightning passed through my cheek.
not me
-Kuh!
-Keugh!
I was furious at the knights of Shanapell who were chasing me.
Olivia and I couldn’t help but stare blankly at the knights who were hit by lightning and bounced away or trembled on the spot.
“What are you doing, asshole! Aren’t you coming here soon?!”
Furious, Riana shouted with a wrinkled face.
ah.
no way.
Did you know?
since when?
how?
As Olivia and I approached, Liana silently began to gather the lightning.
-Kureung! Kurung! Kurleung!
Dozens of sparks began to flash in the air, and in an instant, a tremendous electric light like lightning hit the fallen knights, and a lightning storm swept around them.
-Quarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
A scene unfolded as roadside trees bursting with lightning and bricks on the ground exploded.
The electric light reached its peak, not only destroying things, but also hitting the fallen knights relentlessly.
The fierce lightning that was not properly controlled by anger and radiated in all directions said it all.
Liana knows everything.
