As the area surrounding the palace disappeared, the light covering the palace gradually faded.

In the place where the realm disappeared, a staggering figure of a warrior was seen.

“Hero! Are you okay?”

The first prince, who had been pushed out of the realm when it was created, asked him.

However, the warrior staggered as if he had lost his mind, and his eyes were unfocused.

The moment the hero asks why? The warrior raised his sword high.

The first prince, who felt strange at the sight, instinctively lowered his head. At the same time, a sharp wind passed over his head.

thud!

The warrior’s sword swinging sideways cut down the palace. The royal palace, which had regained its original appearance through divine power, began to collapse again.

The first prince could not understand why the hero was doing this, but he thought that stopping him was more important than understanding, so he shouted out loud.

“Hero! Come to your senses!”

However, his cries did not reach the warrior.

Currently, the warrior has lost his mind and is still immersed in an intense killing intent. The reason he could not regain his senses despite losing his object was because of his intense sense of futility.

A sense of futility at having lost the people he loved to a demon of barely that size.

Such deprivation enveloped the warrior who had lost his senses, and he was still unable to regain his senses.

And he lost his senses and was like a runaway locomotive destroying and killing anything.

The warrior turned his gaze to the first prince.

The moment they made eye contact, the first prince felt an eerie feeling, a huge wave of emotion, and an indescribable murderous intent.

The warrior raised his sword again with such killing intent that it took my breath away and made it difficult to control my body. This time to kill Prince 1.

Prince 1 tried to move his body to avoid it somehow, but his body was already stiff and he could not move.

Soon the warrior’s sword moved, and the moment it touched the first prince.

Chaeaeang!

Someone stepped forward and blocked the hero’s sword.

The person who stopped it was Raen, one of the paladins.

Raen frowned as he looked at his master’s unfocused eyes.

‘Have you lost your mind?’

In fact, she and other paladins had seen the warrior lose his temper a few times.

I don’t know the reason, but what I know for sure is that the hero always looked very sad.

It’s the same now as it was then.

However, the difference from before was that the huge murderous intent was very strong.

‘It’s hard for me alone… ‘

At that time, it was quite easy to take down two paladins, but now it is different.

About four to five years have passed, and the hero has grown incomparably since then. She and other paladins have also grown at the same rate, but the warrior has shown truly overwhelming growth.

As of now, it would have been difficult even if all the Paladins rushed in to stop it.

‘The good news is that you seem to have a little less strength than usual.’

Raen’s thoughts were correct.

Kariel, who had created the current territory and consumed a considerable amount of power there, was weaker than usual.

Because so much force was used, there was recoil as a result.

However, even though it was difficult for her to stop it alone, she decided that it was possible to at least hold out until the other paladins arrived.

Chaeaeang!

The swords clash once again.

Raen pushed away the hero’s sword and used the wave of divine power to increase the distance between him and the hero.

As she widened the distance, she held Prince 1 and placed him in a place where he would not be caught.

“Stay further away to avoid getting caught.”

White armor with a symbol indicating membership in the church. However, there was a special mark within the pattern.

That mark was something only a paladin could have.

A paladin who is known to only follow heroes.

The 1st Prince spoke with tension, knowing how great their power and status were.

“… Thank you.”

Prince 1 did as she said and widened the distance further.

This is because he knows that even if he intervenes, he will only become a burden.

‘Hero… Please come back properly… ‘

He prayed and prayed intensely.

***

Cheaeng! visor!

Inside the royal palace on the verge of collapse.

The two men and women were fiercely clashing swords.

Every time the swords meet, a wave of divine power is created and the name of the sword rings out.

At first glance, the two appear similar, but in reality, they are different.

‘Be strong!’

The more Raen clashed with Kariel’s sword, the more he felt pushed back.

Although he was obviously quite exhausted, the sword of slaughter that was stretched out solely to kill the opponent was frighteningly sharp. In terms of speed as well as strength, she was completely outclassed even though she was probably the best at the moment.

‘What on earth…? ?’

Clearly, she had the upper hand in speed and strength at the moment.

That’s why she was able to attack one step faster. As if he was anticipating every attack. Kariel countered and counterattacked perfectly.

Even if you change the method and give anomalies, it is still completely readable.

Raen felt fear and joy at the same time as his gaze was penetrating everything.

‘As expected, my lord.’

This is because he was very happy that a being of this size was the master he followed.

‘And even more so!’

I stand in the way.

With that promise, she swung her sword.

Squirt!

A sword strike filled with all her power moves towards Kariel.

Kariel moved with minimal force and minimal movement, moving his sword to block her attack.

Normally, blocking an attack with minimal force and minimal movement was an impossible skill unless the difference was overwhelming.

No matter how Kariel was, there wasn’t that much of a difference between him and Raen.

However, the reason he was able to do something like that was because he was looking at the future.

After having just reached the level of transcendental in the previous area.

When he came back, he was back to his original state.

However, some traces of it remained even when I returned to reality, so I was able to see parts of the future with my own eyes, even if only for a moment.

The future side told him what Lien would do.

Thanks to this, Kariel was able to clearly see through Raen’s movements and defend against them.

visor!

Her starlight and Kariel’s divine power collide once again.

Kariel quickly retrieved his sword and moved to once again strike at the gap that had formed.

In the past, the gaps were not that big, so I reacted immediately and blocked them, but now it was different.

The gap was bigger than ever, and I was confident that if I could insert myself into that gap, I would be able to deliver a fatal blow.

The moment you try to stab the sword into the gap.

Starlight suddenly burst out from the ground.

Because I was so sure that the attack would succeed and had no sense of preparation for anything, I was slow to react.

In an instant, Kariel’s body was swallowed by starlight.

“After… I finally locked it up.”

Seeing Kariel swallowed by the starlight, Raen wiped away the sweat and sighed in relief.

From the beginning, she had no intention of subduing Kariel.

I didn’t even think about suppressing it.

No matter how weak he was, he was ahead in terms of level and experience. In particular, his senses became sharper as he lost his senses, so the probability of a successful attack was actually low.

That’s why she took advantage of her loss of reason.

When you lose your reason, you stop thinking. Because the experiences and instincts engraved in their bodies are so sharp, they appear to be thinking. In the end, the fact that I couldn’t think didn’t change.

Therefore, while fighting, she used her abilities to set traps so subtle that they could not be noticed.

Because the opponent only relied on instinct and senses, they did not notice that it was actually a simple trap.

There were also things that I pushed harder and harder without her noticing.

‘Fortunately, I was successful.’

Even this probably wouldn’t last long.

If you leave it like this.

The opponent was a hero, and it didn’t take a long time to get out of the space that was temporarily created and not a place that had been created for a long time. It was clear that I would soon find a way to get out of here.

If that time came, they would have to fight again to buy time, but Raen wasn’t that worried.

‘It’s not like there’s no way.’

Because there was a way to hold on to it even more.

Raen stretched out his hand, looking at the starlight that had completely subsided.

Twinkling starlight bounced from her hands.

The starlight, moving as if it had its own will, seeped into the starlight spread across the ground and became more solid.

‘Even if I do this, it probably won’t last more than an hour.’

It didn’t matter, she thought.

In less than an hour, all the paladins will be gathered here.

At that time, even if they escape, it is a situation that can be easily suppressed.

So all she had to do now was watch the current situation.
