Chapter 547
All warp gates in Serandia, a large city in southern Riselen, were destroyed.
After all, all armies, even the Titans, are in fact close to decoys.
Ellen Artorius.
Saviolin Tana.
If the unit led by the two is committed alone, it will self-destruct in waves of countless monsters. There were countless variables that blocked magic, including space movement, so there were many cases where it was impossible to quickly enter and escape through magic.
That’s why others must attract the monster’s attention.
Those who are weaker and can be replenished even if they die become bait.
While those who became bait by that brutal dichotomy draw the attention of monsters that even Ellen or Saviolin Tana could not handle. Break through the siege of loose monsters and launch a maneuver to destroy the warp gate.
In the end, it’s like taking a bait or a core unit or taking an unimaginable risk.
Of course, destroying all the warp gates doesn’t mean the battle is over.
The occupation of Serandia is over only when the monsters that have already appeared are exterminated and the safety of the surrounding area is secured.
Combatants with strong individual strength, including Ellen, did not have time to rest.
Even after all of Serandia’s warp gates were destroyed, they had to leave to clear out the monsters that swarmed around Serandia.
After an arduous march, he faced a terrible battle and finally won.
But those who had to fight the toughest battle still couldn’t rest.
Here and there in Serandia, the cries of monsters and the smoke of burning monsters’ corpses were still thick.

Casualties inevitably occur in war. However, the Templar Knights are also serving in the forces that have gathered humanity’s surplus.
Even during and after the battle, the priests were busy treating the wounded.
Those who had the power to heal wounds had to treat the wounded without rest even after battle.
Like Adriana, paladins could heal themselves as well as those who were injured.
However, not all wounds can be healed.
In order to heal those whose lives are in critical condition, there must be a priest who can perform such a miracle, and there are not many such people.
Just because you have the power of regeneration and healing doesn’t mean you can handle that power close to omnipotence.
There were countless numbers of people dying in the treatment center.
Before the priests could properly close the eyes of the dead, they had no time to lament their lack of power before they had to turn their attention to the other wounded soldiers.
“Ludwig!”
“… … .”
“this… … . How the hell did this happen!”
Members of the Royal Class began to flock.
“Your arm… … !”
“… … .”
Christina covered her mouth and began to sob when she saw that Ludwig’s right arm was wrapped in a bandage where it should have been.
The snake’s venom was fatal.
It gradually petrified Ludwig’s arm.
Ludwig’s treatment was delayed too much, and his arm had to be amputated before the poison spread further and his life was in danger.
But that wasn’t what mattered to Ludwig.
someone who isn’t here.
You never know who won’t come back safely, but who knows they won’t.
It was time to deliver the news that everyone didn’t know yet.
“Delphine… … . dead… … .”
“what… … ?”
Those who gathered at Ludwig’s words forgot their words.
momentary surprise.
and silence.
“ah… … . no… … .”
“I was trying to protect Scarlett and myself… … . dead… … .”
Ludwig muttered blankly.
The snake’s venom was fatal. So, before finding the priest, Ludwig realized that if the poison spread from his arm to his neck, he would die.
So Ludwig cut off his arm.
with my own hands.
With his own arm cut off, Ludwig carried the fainting Scarlett on his back and retreated to the rear of the battlefield in search of priests.
Without even taking revenge on the monster who crushed and killed Delphine Izzadra.
After it swallowed the crushed and dead Delphine, I had no choice but to turn away from the battlefield while shedding bloody tears.
Ludwig retreated because he couldn’t lose even Scarlett.
No, he ran away.
Scarlett sat down in a corner of a tent, covered her face with both hands, and sobbed.
-because of me… … . because of me… … .
The Royal Class students were also crying as they saw Scarlett sobbing and Ludwig in awe.
crying people.
And Ludwig, who couldn’t even cry, was standing there staring at the bare ground.
Scarlett appeared to save Ludwig from danger.
As a result, Scarlett is in danger, and Delphine saves Scarlett.
Ludwig jumped in to save Scarlett who had fallen in the middle of the battlefield.
turn around and eventually.
Delphine, who went too deep for support, lost her life in a monster attack.
I couldn’t even use my hands.
Because it’s weak.
all of this.
It was a problem caused by weakness.
“all… … . It’s my fault for being weak… … .”
Ludwig murmured stunned.
“I am weak… … . You did everything wrong… … .”
Ludwig, who had lost his right arm, was staring blankly into space.

There are definitely priests who can perform miracles to the extent of attaching a severed body, but there are no priests who can perform miracles to the extent of restoring a body part that has disappeared.
That’s why, those who have become crippled with body defects cannot be healed.
Since Ludwig lost his right arm, he can no longer fight.
You can forcefully use only your left hand to fight, but it will inevitably be very different from before.
As many people died, a huge number of deaths occurred among those from the Temple.
20,000 deaths may not be too much blood loss compared to the total number of allied forces in the hundreds of thousands.
But the battles to be fought in the future are far away.
It is just unknown how many more people will die in the ensuing battle.
It is true that the damage was reduced thanks to unexpected help, but in the end, no one will die.
Just as there were deaths at the Temple, there were inevitable deaths, just like Ludwig lost his arm among the few elite members of the Royal Class.
Because it was such a big battle.
Those who survived were lucky. Because I can give you a funeral.
Those who don’t come back no matter how much time passes.
Rather than waiting for such people, the reality was that we had to calmly accept that they had died.
Therapeutic tents for those of relative importance.
Rudina looked down at the unconscious person from the bedside, her complexion pale.
A teacher who looked at Kaier’s condition.
At one time, the teacher, who was giving lectures related to magical power enhancement, including magic response classes at the temple, looked at Ludina and asked curiously.
‘Didn’t you know… … ?’
‘yes… … . I had no idea… … .’
‘… … It seems Kaier-kun deliberately didn’t say anything.’
‘… … .’
Rudina was just staring blankly at Kaier, who had a pale complexion.
Since it was right after the battle, the garrison had an atmosphere of victories and gruesome deaths at the same time, and this tent was no exception.
how much time has passed
“Ugh… … .”
“… … .”
Kaier frowned and came to his senses, and Rdina bit her lip.
Kaier suddenly lost consciousness, and when he came to his senses, seeing this figure, he looked shocked as if he had noticed what was going on.
“Stop, please… … . Did I pass out?”
“uh.”
“Ah, no, I did my best… … . All in all, in this situation… … . It’s not like I want to… … .”
Kayer’s complexion turned white, probably thinking that Rdina, who was always fussing and swearing, of course, was in a hurry to lose her temper.
Because most of it was like that.
He even lost consciousness during a very important battle, so he probably couldn’t even use the Arc Crystal properly.
In fact, after sending Kaier to the medical doctor, Rdina used up all of the Arc Crystal’s remaining energy, and could no longer help in battle.
Of course I had nothing to say.
You don’t know how many more people could have been saved if he hadn’t fainted.
Kaier thought so too, so he felt sorry for himself who had fainted, so he thought that even if Rudina had a temper, there was nothing he could do about it.
Even Rdina’s expression was terribly hardened.
Unsure what to say, Kaier carefully swallowed his saliva.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“… … what?”
Rdina was angry.
However, this time it was a little different.
“They say you’re dying from overdoing it. Teacher.”
“… … .”
At those words, Kaier had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
But Rdina looked at Kaier and said.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“… … .”
The magical power he possesses is enormous, and his recovery speed is on a different level from that of ordinary people.
However, unless the magic power is infinite, the limit comes. And the one who uses mana is Rudina, who can use up any amount of mana in an instant.
There were several instances where Kaier collapsed from exhaustion. However, Le Dina did not think that it would be the cost of using her life force.
Chae-geun, fuss, and bullying behavior so far.
Rudina had no idea that Kaier’s life was being eaten away.
“like that… … . me… … . Did you want to make someone that bad? you can tell No matter how much I, no matter how much I act like a bitch to you. If I knew you were doing that, I… … . Would I have continued to do so like before? why… … . Why didn’t you tell me?”
Rudina was sobbing with trembling lips.
He didn’t even know what he had done wrong, or what he was forcing him to do, until he realized too late.
Kaier did not tell Rudina that he was dying.
I didn’t say that I was gnawing away my life in order to draw out more of the mana I had pulled out to the limit.
Kaier looked at Ludina quietly.
“You’re not the only one who feels sorry for people dying.”
“… … .”
“If you know this, you won’t be thinking about anything else during the battle.”
I just do it because I can save someone who has to die at the cost of a shortened lifespan.
“It’s just like that.”
When she starts to think that what she is using may not be simple mana, but magic created by shaving Kaier’s life, Ludina is obviously troubled.
Even now, some units support and some units give up.
Even if it is judged that the number of people sacrificed due to the aftermath of the magic is less than the number that can be saved by the magic, it is Rudina’s position that she has to do so.
If Kaier’s life was taken into consideration, Rudina had to give up even more.
Just as Rudina threatened Kaier out of concern for people’s lives, Kaier simply didn’t tell Rdina what he had to tell because he was concerned about people’s lives.
“I’m not going to die right away anyway.”
so as not to hesitate.
With her lips clenched, Rudina shed tears with her eyes wide open.
“Don’t bullshit… … .”
It is a senior-junior relationship that is firmly out of sync.
They are absolute to each other, but hate each other.
“If you die like this, I will be useless. more of your life… … .”
“The Ark Crystal will become useless.”
Rudina widened her eyes at Kaier’s self-tortured words.
“Why are you talking like that?”
“Did you always say that? Even if I’m not there, all I need is a power cartridge. I’m just an efficient power cartridge.”
The relationship between the two has already been swallowed up by the words accumulated while hating them.
Because of anger, resentment, and resentment, all the words I said more than enough had become indelible wounds.
“Isn’t it nice if a insignificant guy who can’t even use magic can save people by shortening his lifespan?”
In the midst of Rudina’s verbal abuse, Kaier was not normal.
I couldn’t stay sane.
Kaier’s self-loathing had already reached its peak.
Seeing Kaier like that, Rudina sheds tears in regret.
“I am… … . i’m going to do that What I was trying to say… … . I did not know. I didn’t know. I didn’t know. I… … . i was bad I was wrong. i was bad i did too much for you Sorry… … . I’ll apologize. So don’t say that… … . Don’t overdo it… … . sorry… … . sorry i really… … . Oh brother… … . i’m sorry… … .”
“Noisy.”
“… … .”
“Let’s do what we do.”
whatever is between the two.
What do you two think of each other?
“Like I said, I won’t die right away.”
Now, there is no going back.
