Chapter 647
The day I saw the immortals being made with my own eyes.
Bertus said.
Someone has to take responsibility for all of this.
After that, Bertus and I talked for a while.
‘I’m not just talking about responsibility for the Gate incident.’
‘Then what responsibility?’
‘Up to the responsibility of the Pandemonium War.’
Everything started in the Great War of the Demon World, so if you want to talk about responsibility, you have to take responsibility from then on.
Bertus said so.
In that story, I had no choice but to know who was responsible and what Bertus was talking about.
If the real cause of the gate incident was the Pandemonium War, then who is responsible for the Pandemonium War?
that would be humanity
But humanity as a whole is paying the price, not taking responsibility.
Someone has to take all the responsibility.
Therefore, mankind, which was the beginning of everything and the source of everything.
The Gradias family decided the war.
The imperial family should take responsibility, Bertus said.
‘Did you cause the Pandemonium War?’
Of course, it wasn’t an issue that Bertus decided other than the war.
And, in the end, was the war caused by the Gradias family’s own will?
Although the imperial family started that war, in the end, that war would happen someday. If it was a war that no one wanted, even the imperial family would not have been able to mobilize such a large number of troops in the first place.
‘I said that in the past, do you remember?’
‘… … What do you mean?’
‘The words that everyone under me said were the same.’
okay.
I said that.
‘But I’m not here because I actually did something. It’s not that I don’t admit that much.’
‘… … .’
‘Just as you’re the demon king because you’re an Archdemon, I was able to do that because I’m the emperor’s son.’
Yes, Bertus certainly said that he was above everyone, but he did not mean that he was above everyone because he was great.
that is washed
Whether wise or incompetent, people in the imperial family are given power.
It’s not a question of right or wrong, it’s just how it is.
‘If you were born with an honor that has nothing to do with your achievements, then you have to take on responsibilities that have nothing to do with your achievements.’
‘… … .’
‘Wouldn’t that be a bit ridiculous and pathetic to say that the responsibility is not mine while enjoying the glory and power?’
If he is going to deny responsibility, he should not have enjoyed the inherited power and glory in the first place. Because neither of them originates from themselves.
‘Now is the time to take responsibility. Actually, I can’t say I didn’t play a part in all of this.’
As soon as I was born, I was treated as a noble being and lived, not because I was great, but because it was hereditary.
That’s why he has to take responsibility for everything that happened due to the Great War that has nothing to do with himself.
If power is to be inherited, responsibility must also be inherited.
In front of Bertus’ solemn expression, I couldn’t say anything.
If you have enjoyed a glory that has nothing to do with your own merits, you must also shoulder the responsibility.
Isn’t that a story that applies to me as well as Bertus?
Everything I’ve enjoyed because I created this world.
So shouldn’t the responsibility for what happens in this world be mine?
Not Bertus.
After all, Bertus is a victim because of me.
Because it doesn’t change the fact that I’m the perpetrator of all this.
‘There’s no need to make such an unfortunate face.’
What expression was I making?
But Bertus said so.
‘Is it difficult to let go of the world or to swallow it? Do you have to compare to know?’
The work Bertus has to do is difficult.
So, is it easy for me to do?
‘It’s funny to say this, but just as I take my own responsibilities, so you will have your own responsibilities.’
okay.
That’s right.
letting go of the world.
digesting the world.
Both will be difficult, but the latter will be more difficult.
There is a way Bertus is responsible, and there is a way I am responsible.
Bertus is not giving me the world.
is to leave the world to me.
If I manage to deal with all the violence the emperor has brought upon me, the world will be mine, and I will be able to survive.
But if I fail at that, if not the world is destroyed, everything I have and myself will be destroyed.
‘I think you should be angry.’
Bertus giggled, as if he couldn’t understand why I was making a strange face.
‘It’s strange.’
Then, Bertus laughed.
Like I can’t stand it without laughing.
I couldn’t laugh in front of Bertus.

-Gwoaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The battlefield rediscovered.
I was swinging my sword in the middle of hell, infested with fire, ice, and lightning strikes.
Tiamata and Alsbringer are not used.
-Kyaaaaaaagh!
Just by looking at the strange liquid-type monster that attacked me, it evaporated along with the flames.
fire of fire.
On the battlefield, many people are mixed.
That’s why I don’t know that everything that happens comes from me.
He takes the broken spear whose owner it belonged to and throws it towards the enemy camp.
– Kwajik!
The spear accurately pierced the head of the giant monster that trampled soldiers on the battlefield.
– Kwoaaa!
but don’t fall
There are countless times when the places that looked like the heads of monsters that were individually formed and eaten were not vital points.
Not quite like Ellen.
I have also killed countless monsters.
I fly across the battlefield, rushing towards the undefeated monster and striking it with my fist at the same time.
– Cuckoo!
It’s not the sound of a fist.
Strictly speaking, it is the sound produced by the magical shock wave that exploded the moment the fists touched.
Among the monster’s flesh pieces, half of which had been blown away in an instant, I passed by the soldiers staring blankly at me.
There are good things about the appearance of immortals.
If you’re wearing a helmet with a faceplate, it’s probably one of the immortals.
Even if an unknown soldier advances by slaughtering monsters, the soldiers think it is the hidden power of the empire, and do not think that the devil is participating in the war.
That’s why it’s better to wear a helmet than to move with a different face.
Just as the soldiers are shocked to see me but don’t doubt it, the Immortals don’t doubt me either.
Amidst the explosion and roar of the battlefield.
In the distance, watching the trail of the Voidblade advance, slicing through the monsters.
I also ran towards the warp gate as part of the battlefield.
It’s not just me.
Immortals also include wizards.
Among the lights that heal and bless the injured with golden brilliance that colors the battlefield, Olivia Ranze shoots.
and.
– Flash!
Among the lights flying towards the city from the rear of the battlefield, some were fired by Harriet.
-Kurrureung!
Among the thunderbolts pouring down from the sky, there was one summoned by Liana.
How do I take responsibility?
Just as you cannot take all responsibility with your life alone, there will be many ways to take responsibility.
Is this the right way to take responsibility?
However, I don’t want to take the responsibility of death.
To take responsibility or pay the price in a different way.
He swung his weapon as if possessed.
* * *
The Allies held their distance before reaching Lubotten, Wallen’s next big city.
Until the Immortals have taken care of all the warp gates in all other small and medium-sized cities.
After the Immortals completed their mission, the allied forces advanced on Luboten.
It was definitely more intense than the Battle of Wallen, and the battle itself took a long time.
However, in the end, it was the same that the sacrifices were less than in Serandia.
The faces of all the Allied Forces who saw Luboten turned to ashes were a little different from when they successfully captured Serandia.
It’s a great victory with less damage than before, but it’s not that the mood has subsided because it’s sad.
There is only one left.
Now, the end is really near.
Everyone knew that, so everyone’s faces showed a sense of heroism rather than joy for victory.
Knowing that the moment they had only hoped for and longed for was not far away, the allied forces organized the battlefield in a solemn atmosphere amid spleen rather than being intoxicated with victory.
Tidying up the battlefield is the responsibility of the allied forces.
We returned to Razak.
Liana looks at me and shrugs.
“By the way, did we really need to fight on our own?”
“Because it’s better than nothing.”
“what… … . It’s not exactly wrong.”
At my words, Liana nodded her head with an expressionless expression.
Rather than watching the battlefield from a distance, he had a desire to fight directly. You could use Dreadfiend’s ring to transform and fight pretending to be one of the allied soldiers, but if there was a very powerful soldier whose identity was unknown, that would be strange, so I didn’t participate in the battle.
However, since the advent of the Immortals, it is no wonder that the allied forces have a mysterious and very powerful ally.
So, I was going to put on a helmet and jump into the battlefield. I just don’t have to use the conspicuous Tiamata and Alsbringer.
But I was going alone, but after hearing me, Harriet said she would go too.
As a result, not only Olivia but also Liana came.
You can fight while hiding in a helmet or robe on the battlefield, and even the Templars are ours, so it was easier for Olivia to be active.
In addition, Elerys and Lucinil helped in the battle.
It wasn’t a significant majority, but it would have been better than nothing.
There’s nothing wrong with monsters dying a little faster.
I don’t know if it’s meaningful to put a foot in a fight anonymously in a battle that I will win anyway.
It’s a battle won, but it’s not without death in the end.
Some got hurt, some died.
It’s probably Liana and Harriet who killed the most monsters in today’s battle, not me.
Harriet was quietly looking down the hill with a firm expression in the clearing in front of the Razak Castle where the night had fallen.
You will have to think a lot.
-urg! profit… … ! urg!
And Olivia was sitting on the ledge in front of the castle, whimpering as she took off the monster’s blood-soaked plate armor.
-Ugh it’s frustrating!
-Kang!
Throwing away the armor, Olivia sighed.
It wasn’t taken off, it was taken off.
“Is that sister cute sometimes? Am I crazy?”
Liana smiled at Olivia’s spirited look.
No, I don’t think it’s too bad to call it cute.
From afar, Olivia looks at me with hatchet eyes open.
– Reinhard! Don’t just look, help me, you fool! I couldn’t even wear this alone!
“all right.”
I approached the whining Olivia and untied the knot on her armor.
“So, you don’t wear a breastplate like me, what kind of full body armor did you wear?”
“Even though Rowen told me to wear it, I was forced to wear it because I gave a damn.”
Apparently, right before the start of the battle, he visited the commander of the Holy Knights, Rowen.
“It’s a consecrated armor, so it’s effective. Paladins are fools, so would they wear something like this?”
Olivia sighed and explained that the paladins who can bless the body and, in some cases, enhance magical power, don’t wear armor for nothing.
Just like I disguised myself as a soldier, Olivia disguised herself as a paladin, so wearing sheet metal was inevitable.
Olivia’s platinum hair was tangled here and there, so I had to say that it looked like a ghost.
It was an unavoidable fate as long as they had to engage in close combat.
Liana and Harriet look a little tired, but they’re still dry.
Eventually, when Olivia’s armor was removed, she was wearing her underwear.
Since he had to wear armor, he had no choice but to wear light clothes inside.
“… … .”
“… … .”
hmm.
uh.
that… … .
“If you want to see it, you have to look at it properly, what are you doing as if you are going to see it? Rather, it is more insidious.”
Olivia glares at me with cold eyes.
“Oh, I didn’t see… … . No, I did, but that’s not what I saw… … !”
“And I smell blood now. Don’t come any closer.”
“Whenever you ask me to take off your armor!”
Come and go, what is it!
“That was then, and now is now.”
But really, like Olivia said, it did smell like blood.
Olivia looked enviously at Harriet’s back looking down the hill from afar and stood up.
“When I’m born again, I’ll learn magic too… … . it’s annoying… … . Mr. Lee… … .”
Olivia trudged into the castle, leaving the scattered armor behind.
As soon as Olivia entered, she saw Charlotte come out.
“I heard that the battle ended well.”
Technically speaking, our regent also has great fighting skills, but Charlotte’s job was not to be on the battlefield, so she wore the most modest dress.
“what… … . Fortunately.”
We participated in the war, but in the end, the biggest role was the role of Titans and Immortals.
Charlotte crossed her arms and took a deep breath.
“now… … . Diane is the only one left.”
“yes.”
When those words came out, my hands broke into a cold sweat.
Now the end is really in sight.
All other places were also cleaned up by Immortals.
Lieseln Capital Diane.
Really last now.
Only the final advance remained.
Everyone had to be quiet.
