Chapter Index

    “Is this the hometown you were talking about?”

    “That’s right!”

    Olivier answered the question brightly.

    “I can’t see anything?”

    “That’s right!”

    This shit is really…

    I’m not joking.

    I’ve taken the wrong path more than twenty times already.

    Olivier swallowed the curse that was rising to his chin.

    “Oh my goodness, this is already the twentieth time you’ve been unsuccessful”

    A knight in black armor.

    Belcred spoke.

    That guy is absolutely right.

    It was a statement that made my heart ache.

    “What, are you doubting me?”

    He glared at me with his already sharp eyes.

    At the same time, the magical power that could not be processed was shaken,

    The ground and the air shook.

    Belcred remained calm even as he faced the murderous intent of the warrior and the ominous omen, Nao.

    ‘What a crazy kid, are you really human?’

    Olivier hid his shock at the incredible sight.

    “You’re not human!”

    When Belcred didn’t move an inch.

    He came out and growled.

    Olivier listened quietly because he was curious himself.

    “I am human”

    “Lies!”

    ‘That’s right, a lie’

    For the first time in a while, that little shit said something right.

    There is no way a human could face the ominous energy head-on and remain unharmed.

    “Then let’s say you’re not human”

    “… Yeah!”

    Why is that so!

    You stupid bitch!

    “Did you get something from Estella?”

    Olivier, unable to contain his curiosity, asked.

    Belcred suddenly stopped walking and turned his head.

    “What, why?

    Ssaaaah-

    In an instant, a dizzying sensation spread throughout my entire body.

    Olivier lost his sight, but at that moment,

    He clearly saw the image of an evil spirit pointing a sword at him.

    “… Keuk”

    “What, why are you like that?”

    Olivier suddenly kneels down and catches his breath.

    I crouched down and looked up at her from below.

    “Hey, are you crying?”

    “Shut up”

    Belcred started walking again.

    “I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that question”

    Fuck.

    Absolutely not human.

    That can never be human.

    Olivier checked his neck dozens of times to make sure it was still intact.

    “Ah!”

    We walked for several minutes without saying a word.

    Naoga came out and raised his finger.

    “Are we arriving again?”

    Olivier sneered.

    “This time it’s real!”

    “Yes… ?”

    Thick fog.

    A strangely sparkling, hazy light

    Two huge jangseung appear in front of your eyes.

    “That’s right. You’re finally here”

    [Come, you wicked ones]

    [You won’t be able to move forward]

    The blazing jangseung couple each took out a club and a hammer.

    The corners of Olivier’s mouth twitched.

    “Now it’s getting a little fun”

    The news of Cheong-ah attacking Na-rae spread quickly.

    Rumors like this were just too quick to spread.

    After the Allied Forces, now even the priestess.

    Even the strongest and most noble in the Suin society

    I got caught up in the red moon

    The fear of the common people was at its peak.

    “God has forsaken us!”

    On one side, there were those who condemned God and cried out for salvation,

    “It’s plunder anyway”

    There are also some cunning people who take advantage of this situation.

    But the most serious thing is.

    The Allied Forces, which were supposed to be at the forefront of the battlefield, were disintegrating.

    Inevitably, since they were made up of several races, they took the incident of a priestess attacking a priestess as a very serious matter.

    “Cheong-ah must be detained”

    The nobles insisted that Cheong-a, who attacked Na-rae, should be put in prison immediately.

    “That is an unexpected accident. At times like this, the precious power of the priestess is needed”

    The Dragon Clan was condoning this situation.

    The remaining two races were afraid that the sparks might fly to them.

    He was showing an attitude of observing from a distance.

    ‘I don’t have time right now…’

    There are now two days left until the red moon that Narae spoke of.

    Even though they already have a perfectly coordinated countermeasure, these soldiers are arguing with each other.

    It’s not that I don’t understand their situation.

    From my perspective, I was attacked by my wife.

    Still, I didn’t blame Cheong-ah.

    If I saw Cheong-ah kneeling and sobbing like that, I wouldn’t be able to say anything reproachful.

    “This won’t do”

    I walked into the center of the fighting Allied forces.

    “… Hild-nim”

    Garam noticed me and bowed.

    Following this, the warriors of the noble clan also followed suit.

    There’s a lot of gossip, but I’m still Na-rae’s husband.

    “If it’s okay, can I say something?”

    Garam glanced around the room.

    “Yes, that’s right”

    Garam’s permission was granted.

    I gave a small bow as a gesture of gratitude.

    Their eyes were fixed on me.

    “Hello everyone. This is my first time greeting you like this”

    I greeted them politely.

    There was no applause or cheering.

    Well, that’s not what I was hoping for,

    At least I was thankful I didn’t get hit by a stone.

    “As everyone knows, I am Na-rae’s husband. Although I am lacking, Na-rae accepted me and I was able to gain this position.”

    The gaze became a little sharper.

    “What do you want to say”

    It was a man in the form of a lizardman.

    He was from the Blue Dragon Tribe and competed with Garam for the position of squad leader of the Allied Forces.

    Was your name Jarak?

    “It’s not that great. Hem”

    Didn’t you think I would know your name?

    The skirt shook violently.

    He flicked his long tongue and averted his gaze.

    “What, keep talking”

    “Thank you”

    I would like to express my gratitude, even if it is only briefly.

    “Last night. Cheong-ah attacked Na-rae”

    “… ”

    “… ”

    He continued speaking while looking at the silent crowd.

    “Cheong-ah was obsessed with the red moon. So she couldn’t control her impulses”

    “Does that mean that Cheong-ah harbored hatred toward Na-rae?”

    The warrior of the noble clan took the blow.

    “That’s right. If I didn’t have negative feelings, I wouldn’t have been driven mad”

    “As expected!”

    “The priestess of the Blue Dragon must be detained”

    There was a burst of applause here and there.

    Naturally, the Blue Dragon tribe looked visibly uncomfortable.

    After all, this is what happens when you are the husband of a powerful family…

    It was a look that said.

    “But is that weird?”

    “… Yes?”

    “I mean, the feeling of hating others.”

    “Of course… ”

    The eyes of the warriors looking at me waver.

    That was expected.

    I calmly said what I wanted to say.

    “I don’t see negative emotions as bad. Feelings of hatred and sadness are both natural. Are there any friends here who have never hated a colleague next to them?”

    They glanced at each other.

    I couldn’t bring myself to say no.

    Even now, they still hate each other and fight.

    “Cheong-ah was in pain. She said that she hurt her beloved friend. Na-rae was injured and recovering, but Cheong-ah was also injured and recovering.”

    That night.

    Cheong-ah cried for a long time in Na-rae’s arms before falling asleep.

    She cried and cried until she had no more tears left before she finally stopped crying.

    “We live hating each other. We detest, loathe, and wish for each other to disappear. But I think it comes from the desire to care for, acknowledge, and love each other… and to become better people”

    He rummaged through his pockets and took out a small piece of cloth.

    When I opened the piece of cloth, there was a piece of broken glass.

    It was a piece of the medicine bottle that Cheong-ah had brought for Na-rae last night.

    “We must know. Who our enemy is. What we fight for. What we must protect”

    And he showed them the pieces of a broken bottle.

    Everyone was silent.

    “What are you here for?”

    “… I came to protect”

    “Yeah, what did you come here to protect?”

    “I came to protect my family, my friends, and my neighbors”

    “Are you here to protect your neighbors from your neighbors?”

    “No, we”

    “What are you protecting from”

    My eyes opened.

    It was only then that I saw what kind of expression my friend next to me had.

    What kind of sound are you crying with?

    Why do we hate so much?

    I see.

    We care for each other so much

    Because we love each other so much.

    So that’s why you were so afraid of losing.

    I was so scared that I almost ran away before I could even fight.

    “I came to protect my friend from the enemy who threatens him”

    “So now you know what to do?”

    “Please give us your orders”

    All the people knelt down.

    A dignified and spirited appearance.

    It was the first time I saw them.

    That’s fortunate.

    Because a clumsy speech is effective.

    Then next time I have to experience it with my own body.

    “Garam, let’s go to the training ground”

    “I will do that”

    I led a large army of three hundred men and entered the parade ground where Na-rae was training.

    Looking at it from above, there really are a lot of them.

    It’s also sturdy.

    “Everyone, there’s no time. They’ll come rushing in soon. Cheong-ah and Na-rae haven’t recovered yet. But we can’t just sit back and do nothing. Right?”

    “Yes!”

    A thunderous answer echoed through the parade grounds.

    When I saw him shouting without missing a single word, my heart started pounding for no reason.

    “So, let’s show our great appearance before Cheong-ah and Na-rae come. For the great mother!”

    “”“For the great mother!”””

    “Come out one by one”

    He uses the four powers given to him by the Receiver and draws his sword majestically.

    I went down to the parade ground and crossed swords with each warrior.

    After the rain, the ground hardens.

    There will always be trials,

    The ordeal will be difficult for us.

    It’s probably dangerous and could collapse at any moment

    Sometimes I just want to give up.

    If you persevere and overcome to the end

    We will finally see the bright sun.

    “I don’t have time for this… ”

    Narae struggled to get out of bed.

    A burning pain came from my shoulder.

    She had to sit on the edge of the bed for a moment to relieve the pain.

    After a while, when the pain subsided a little,

    Narae stuck her head out.

    “Oh, are you awake?”

    “Ah, Sister Selene”

    Selene approached with a kind smile.

    She was carrying a small basket containing towels and potions.

    In particular, there were two towels.

    “Oh, sis… ”

    “Cheong-ah is okay. She opened her eyes a little while ago just like Na-rae.”

    “Ah… ”

    Narae smiled brightly at those words.

    Selene chuckled at her easy-to-understand appearance.

    As soon as Cheong-ah opened her eyes, she asked about Na-rae’s well-being.

    However, at that time, I didn’t know if Na-rae had woken up, so I answered ‘I don’t know’. Cheong-ah quickly became upset and buried her face in her pillow.

    “Cheong-ah is waiting. Let’s go quickly. I was very worried”

    “Yes, thank you so much, Sister”

    Narae bowed and ran to the room where Cheong-ah was staying.

    Hahah-!

    “… Huh?”

    Then, a loud roar was heard in Na-rae’s ears.

    Outside the window, bright light pours in.

    Narae’s gaze naturally turned there.

    “Oh, is it too loud?”

    “Oh, no. That’s not it… What does this mean… ”

    “Hehe, do you want to check it out?”

    Selene tapped on the windowsill.

    Narae approached the place as if possessed and opened the window.

    The fresh scent of flowers tickles my nose

    I squinted my eyes against the blindingly bright sunlight.

    “Ah… ”

    And there.

    Haaaap-!

    Louder-!

    Haaap!

    yes-!

    Warriors lined up with loud cheers

    Wielding the four powers gifted by the recipient

    Hild was seen leading the warriors.

    “My lord… ”

    Narae shed tears as her emotions welled up.

    Selene gently placed a hand on Narae’s shoulder.

    “Narae, don’t give up”

    “Yes… ”

    “We haven’t lost yet”

    okay

    We didn’t support it.

    Because we’re just getting started.

    The flames began to burn.
