151. Flame Spell of the Elder Dragon Ustina (2)

Hwareureureureureu-

The entire area was engulfed in a massive inferno.

Not a natural fire, but a blaze ignited by the fierce explosion of magical energy.

‘Such a wide-ranging attack.’

The Apostle Army’s nest, which they had been rapidly constructing.

That entire nest was going up in flames.

I quickly entered the headquarters building from the watchtower.

There, the high-ranking commanders of the allied Demon King Army, whom I had summoned earlier, were gathered.

Hwirik.

The Demon King’s cloak I wore fluttered.

I stood before the head seat and looked down at the commanders.

“Now, the final battle will begin.”

The commanders’ expressions turned serious.

Remiella and Aytekia, too.

Lyles and Driorius, too. All those generals focused on my words.

“The time Ustina-nim’s fire will last is approximately 3 hours. As soon as the Apostle Army extinguishes that fire, we will launch a full-scale offensive!”

Their eyes changed.

“Understood!”

“As you command!”

To prepare for any possible spies from the Apostle Army.

The plan for the all-out offensive was not revealed to anyone except Ustina-nim.

But everyone here just wore surprised expressions.

No one opposed my words in the slightest.

It was proof that everyone trusted me.

‘Yes. Now is the only timing.’

The Apostle Army had built a fortress for defense by expanding their nest.

But Ustina-nim had created a crack in that solid shield with her ultimate flame spell.

Therefore, now that a gap had appeared in the Apostle Army’s solid defense.

I intended to deliver the most powerful blow without delay.

‘I’ll exploit that gap.’

The chaos had already begun.

I saw the monster army temporarily scattered due to the raging fire.

But with the presence of Pedro and Yuranes, those cold-blooded commanders.

The chaos would soon be brought under control.

So, while that chaos remained.

Ustina-nim and I planned to strike their main camp.

‘But the time I have to head to the enemy’s main camp is extremely short.’

The moment they realize that the two leaders of the Demon King Army are not on the battlefield.

They will concentrate all their forces on the main camp. Above all, the nest leading to that main camp is already labyrinthine.

‘There is a way to break through, though.’

All instructions were finished.

I looked at the commanders and said quietly.

“I won’t say grandiose things like the future of the Demon King’s nation, the future of Islend, depends on me and you.”

Everyone was silent at those words. I continued.

“I just want to share a drink with you all even after this battle is over. It will probably be the most delicious drink of my life.”

The commanders all stood up at once.

And knelt on one knee towards me.

“So, all of you, survive. I will protect you all.”

The commanders’ voices echoed in unison.

“We shall obey the Lord’s command!”

I nodded.

And quietly slipped out of that place and joined my companions at the prearranged location.

---

The battlefield was still burning.

As a result, neither the Apostle Army nor the Demon King Army could move actively.

Now was the opportunity.

Me and my lovers. And Ustina-nim were moving quickly through the underground of the battlefield.

“It’s fortunate that those Apostle Army bastards made the nest so sturdy.”

Lucia said.

No, Yunir, who had revealed her form, said.

“That’s right. If we move through this connected nest, we should be able to reach the main camp where those Apostles are.”

I replied to her words.

At that moment, Chloe’s expression, who was moving with us, became serious.

“The demonic energy is already too thick from the entrance. If we arrive at their main camp, that place might be the same as inside the Chaotic Gate…”

Chloe’s words were correct.

The Demon King Army possessed the fraudulent force called dragons.

A special force comparable to fighter planes of the old Earth.

Not only did they possess the most powerful destructive force as living creatures, but they were also capable of high-mobility flight.

‘It’s no different from combining fighter planes, bombers, and reconnaissance planes.’

But in the current war situation, that meaning had faded.

With those Dragon Knights, who had far superior specs than flying monsters.

They had already scouted the Apostle Army’s main camp countless times.

‘But those bastards even hid their main camp in an underground nest.’

So, even the high-altitude bombing that Drake Knights boasted was impossible.

Even Ustina-nim’s 8th circle spell, Meteor Fall.

It would have inflicted great damage on the Apostle Army located on the ground.

But it would not have damaged the depths of that gigantic nest at all.

‘So, in the end, there’s no other way but for Ustina-nim and me to head there directly.’

The demonic energy was too thick.

I instinctively knew that the demonic energy filling the ground was spreading from this nest.

Even the generals of the Demon King Army would find it difficult to withstand the current demonic energy.

‘It’s hard unless you’re literally chosen by a god.’

Even more monsters than I had seen on the ground were filling this place.

Thanks to the combined power of me and Ustina-nim, the two contractors of the Great Void.

Yunir was using a portion of that lost divinity to conceal everyone with the power of darkness.

‘She completely hid the presence of the six people.’

Otherwise, there was no way my companions could move in this death trap.

Also, since my lovers had all been chosen by Jedin.

It was possible because they could withstand this high concentration of demonic energy with that divine power.

Anyway, the time remaining for the Demon King Army, no, humanity, was extremely short.

Yunir said.

“I don’t want to say this, but we must stop Pedro and Yuranes. If a complete Chaotic Gate is created here, the balance of the world will collapse rapidly.”

Ustina-nim replied.

“Understood. Please trust me, no, us.”

The magical energy radiating from her became even denser.

Hwareureureureuk-

Dozens of monsters blocking the party’s path instantly turned to ashes.

Soon, not even a trace of the ashes remained. There was no chance of being discovered by the monsters at all.

She seemed a little tired from using the ultimate flame spell. Still, as befitting a great ancient dragon, she did not fall behind at all while dealing with the monsters.

“The path is blocked.”

And after sprinting for about 30 minutes, the party stopped for a moment.

It seemed they had encountered the first obstacle.

---

The underground was different from the surface.

Like that metaphor of a labyrinth. It was not easy to get a sense of direction.

“From the start, I don’t even know if the path continues like this.”

Chloe’s words were correct.

If a simple, complex maze was created underground, that would be one thing.

But this underground nest was a place where dozens, no, hundreds of Dungeons were connected like a mosaic.

Just a moment ago, the party was clearly breaking through a vast prairie.

But right in front of them, a snowy field with heavy snowfall unfolded.

Such arbitrary terrain was filling their vision.

But of course, they moved quickly with some guidance.

‘I’ve been trying to find the place where the demonic energy is getting thicker…’

Naturally, the demonic energy felt the strongest in that Chaotic Gate-ified main camp. They were moving towards the center of that demonic energy.

But in the end, like the giant castle walls visible in front of them.

They could not break through as the path was blocked.

“Then if we fly over the castle walls… Hyaat!”

Rosette, who had flown up on her magic wand, covered her witch’s hat with both hands.

Since it was not a real space. It seemed she had collided with the boundary of the Dungeon.

‘This is troublesome.’

The most certain way to destroy a Dungeon was to defeat its Dungeon Boss.

But of course, there was no time to defeat hundreds of Dungeons one by one.

It was also meaningless to detour again.

Knoia’s demonic energy was chaotic at its source.

‘The arrangement of the Dungeons changes in real time.’

So, in many ways, it was a dilemma.

But there was a way.

I had learned the doctrine at Pantheon Academy.

That academy that raises Jedin’s holy priests.

• May Jedin’s light illuminate every place in the world without deficiency.

Jedin is the God of Light.

The divine power that those words mean is clairvoyance.

It means that his power exists wherever light reaches.

‘If I can be aware of this Dungeon itself, which has been created like a labyrinth, in real time.’

If I could feel the entire Dungeon currently arranged through that clairvoyance.

Even in that vast Dungeon, that single shortcut leading to the center.

I would definitely be able to find it.

“I think I’ve come up with a way.”

“That’s right.”

I nodded at Yunir’s words.

The power of Jedin.

It was me who had truly awakened the Demon King’s blood flowing within me after entering the Demon King’s nation.

So, other than using Sielteia, I did not use Jedin’s power separately.

‘I am the student representative of the Pantheon Battle Order. So, I can use that power because I am blessed by Roia, the God of Battle, but…’

Of course, the divine power of light that I can use is stronger than that of a high-ranking bishop of the Empire.

But I had already become Yunir’s Apostle.

As the light of a small lamp is the same as nothing in the night that has engulfed the world. I was more accustomed to using Yunir’s power, magical energy, and my inherent power, Aura.

‘That’s why I came with my lovers.’

On the other hand, my lovers’ circumstances were different.

All of them were Pantheon Academy.

Special women who had been chosen by the 6 Gods under their command in Jedin’s Great Temple.

Although Lilia was not here.

Sielteia, created by igniting her divine power, was with us.

‘If we combine the power of my lovers, we can summon Jedin’s power.’

The power to illuminate and find everything is the power of light.

I looked at my lovers. Aylin nodded.

“Everyone, please gather around Sielteia!”

Chloe had a slightly dissatisfied look.

Still, it was Aylin who had naturally become the leader among the lovers.

All my lovers gathered around her and Sielteia.

Except for Lucia.

In fact, she was Yunir’s incarnation, not a student chosen by Roia. I took the place representing Roia instead.

Aylin and Cecilia. And Chloe and Rosette.

Although she was not here, Lilia, who replaced her presence through Sielteia, and finally me.

Pantheon 6 Orders. Former students of Pantheon gathered again, representing the 6 Gods under their command.

“The light of Jedin.”

Five people simultaneously read Jedin’s Bible.

They read together the phrase written in the last chapter.

Uuuuuuung-

Soon, Sielteia and Mother’s Rosary.

And my lovers resonated together, and everyone entered a very white space of light.

And at that moment.

Along with a squishy sensation, a very familiar voice was heard in that space.

“Yulian-seobang-nim!!!!”

Very soft flesh was felt all over my body.

Soon, the scent of fresh wildflowers spread to the tip of my nose. A blonde woman wearing a pure white nun’s dress hugged me.

“Your Majesty Lilia?”

In the space created by Jedin’s divine power.

I finally reunited with Lilia.
