======================

A girl with flowing silver hair gazed endlessly at the fortress that boasted of being impregnable.

I can vaguely feel it.

It was definitely a sign of Edanant.

Edanant has arrived at the Fortress of the Undying.

What exactly is being discussed with Geomseong?

I waited anxiously to see if Edanant might engage in battle with the Sword Saint. If the Apostle of War and the Sword Saint collide, a catastrophe that is scary to even imagine will occur.

‘It would be good if Ethan could use this opportunity to find out Beatrice’s whereabouts… .’

This could be guessed from the disastrous disaster that the Sword Saint caused in the Kingdom of Pug.

Beatrice never ran away.

For some reason, he has stepped down from the stage where he has been active.

There is an inside story.

There must have been a reason why he had to leave so quickly.

‘She is a woman whose mind is also covered with a field of colorful flowers… I thought he would have disappeared with the lovers he was accompanying around to avoid the plague.’

When I heard that the great Second Saint who defeated the Demon King had gone missing along with her favorite lovers, I didn’t pay much attention to it.

I’ll be back soon.

I thought he would come back looking his usual virtuous self.

However, even though two months had passed, Beatrice’s whereabouts were still unknown.

Zeveline let out a heavy sigh and shook her head.

“What are the dynamics of the Kingdom of Boemon?”

“It appears that most of the troops have been withdrawn. There is no one near the castle walls.”

Were they concerned about the aftermath of the clash?

Or did he make room for Edanant and Regnas?

I bit my nails as if to express my nervousness.

The ominous feeling soon became a reality.

This is because as soon as the Warmonger and the Sword Saint met in the fortress, dark magical energy began to rise from the west.

It was the direction where the home of a leader with numerous monsters was located.

“Seo, saintess! Monsters are coming down!”

“Phew… .”

Dust rose like crazy.

It was noticed that the troops of Boemon Kingdom, who were threatening with sharp spears and swords, had temporarily withdrawn. So the monsters that had been cornered by the successive subjugations began to stir all at once.

The holy knights of the Holy Empire moved.

Jebelin also took action to respond to the raid.

“Lue, snuggle next to me.”

“Yes!”

The clear sky suddenly darkened with a harsh thunder. Then, pure white lightning struck all at once, and the dark sky suddenly brightened.

The thunder rang again.

Sharp thunderbolts scattered in all directions like spider webs.

The Holy Knights expressed their admiration at the majestic sight, as if the beginning of heaven and earth was happening before their eyes.

“The White Dragon of the Holy Empire… !”

“We have a saint! Everyone raise your sword!”

The thunderbolts of the white dragon protecting the Earth Mother surged and fell on the monsters crossing the battlefield.

─────!!

────────!!!

Lightning struck.

Every time, the black monsters that were charging at me violently oxidized. Even though it rushed at a furious pace, as if showing its vicious nature, it ultimately failed to reach the saint.

The entire sky and ground were colored with pure white thunder.

The sight of Zeveline freely handling the sharp lightning bolts reminded me of Edanant, who unleashed overwhelming firepower in the tribal war. As if imitating the fighting style of a warmonger.

-Gooo!!!

When most of the monsters that rushed ahead were wiped out,

A roar rang out.

The huge howl was enough to shake the battlefield.

It was the moment when the leader who had persistently harassed the Boemon Kingdom while commanding numerous monsters appeared. The Paladins swallowed their screams at the sight of the monster raising its upper body while collapsing the mountainside.

“… Anyway, ever since I reunited with Ethan, things don’t get any easier.”

The saint stretched out her hand to the fairy who was watching from the side.

Then the fairy came running at a fast pace and handed me the staff she was holding with both hands.

‘Where should I use Beatrice’s sacred weapon that the emperor and cardinals were so proud of?’

He raised a scepter decorated with pure white ivory.

The scepter of the midnight sun.

The scepter that Lue gave to Zeveline was a sacred weapon of the Holy Imperial Kingdom that was stored in the paradise of fairies.

The saint, holding sacred weapons, blocked the great monster like a holy seeker. Even though strong shock waves hit the vicious monster every time it advanced, it never wavered.

* * *

When the Holy Imperial Forces dispatched to Boemon Kingdom began skirmishing,

Edanant and Regnas focused solely on their opponents, as if ignoring the loud thunder.

The end of the world is not far away.

A ‘symbol of evil’ is needed to prevent the planned outcome.

Only then did the questions begin to be answered.

Through Regnas’ explanation, Edanant finally learned the full story of the terrible massacre that occurred in the Kingdom of Pugh. I also learned why the Saint of Swords was reduced to a regicide.

“… Are you going to become a symbol of evil yourself?”

“Yes.”

A party of saints who saved the world by defeating the devil is about to take on evil. At Regnas’ concise answer, Edanant distorted his face and showed anger.

Fall (墮落).

Or Tacheon (墮天).

The declaration of abandoning divinity and believing in evil was tantamount to taking on the burden of the sins of the great heavenly sins, which the Holy Empire strongly regarded as taboo.

Supreme heroes are reduced to villains.

Edanant grabbed the hilt of the gun, remembering Beatrice’s dazzling soft smile.

“Stupid kites, you should have put me forward! If you are an apostle who serves the disaster god of war… ! He could have perfectly replaced the fallen immortal demon king! Doesn’t your head spin like that?”

If I had been told that the world might come to an end right now, I would have willingly accepted this necessary evil.

We need evil to replace ‘death’.

In that case, all you have to do is bring about ‘war’, which is called the misfortune of innocence just like death.

why.

Why on earth… !

He glared at Geomseong as if he were going to pull the trigger at any moment.

After many twists and turns, I finally found out why the main characters disappeared at the end of the epilogue. Facing the truth he had been desperately searching for, Edanant let out anger and futility with trembling eyes.

“I feel sad too. If the disaster god of tyranny and the disaster god of famine had still existed, they would have somehow been able to be replaced.”

If the disaster gods of tyranny and the disaster gods of hunger, who have threatened the existence of humanity like death and war, had remained in power until now, we would never have had to worry about the end of the world.

But unfortunately, tyranny and starvation had become a specter of the distant past.

The disaster god of tyranny was subdued by the warriors of the Ebelas Empire, the predecessor of the Valtaria Empire, and buried in the western desert.

And the Calamity God of Hunger was sealed by Bellasiel, the adopted daughter of the Earth Mother and praised as the Supreme Archangel, and was thrown into the eastern sea.

Now the only remaining innocent treasure is war.

There were only a very few people, including the saint’s party, who knew him.

“Ethan, I told you everything I wanted to say.”

Regnas’ energy, which had been as peaceful as a warm breeze, suddenly changed into a violent storm. This was because he had finally pulled out the hilt of the sword he had been holding tightly in his hand.

A faint metallic sound rang out.

At the same time, the sharp tip of a sword appeared.

“From now on, you are the enemy of the saint’s party. Unlike you, who became a hero representing the empire in order to overcome the world’s necessary evil… Because in the end, we will have to become enemies.”

“… … .”

No matter what I say, it will be of no use.

Those who followed the saint were all crazy freaks.

I decided to accept the offer.

Aldebaran was also selected to confront Regnas, who had declared hostile relations.

“Regnas, you said you never use force against the weak.”

“That’s a funny joke. Why is Ethan the underdog?”

Kagagagak-!

No sooner had each other finished speaking than the swords clashed.

Shock waves shook the castle walls.

Nevertheless, Edanant and Regnas did not back down and rushed forward.

There were several sharp sword strikes. Then, the walls of the fortress, which boasted of impregnable defense, collapsed like vegetables cut diagonally.

“… That’s a lot of punishment. You have finally mastered Maximilian’s swordsmanship.”

“Three years have passed since then.”

The tip of the warmonger’s sword became blurred.

And the tip of the swordsman’s sword became blurred.

Same timing.

Same behavior.

Just as Edanant imitated the warrior’s swordsmanship, so did Regnas.

Are you trying to score points in your capacity as an examiner? The sword monster, who had mastered all of the most advanced sword techniques in the world, deliberately used the same technique.

“I have no personal feelings towards you. Of course, if it had been Maximilian, the story would have been different.”

“I completely understand.”

The muskets deployed in the air spewed fire all at once.

Countless bullets fired from the muzzle rained down on Legnas.

“I have no personal feelings either.”

The shape of the sword energy flowing through the blade changed.

Churrr!

And he showed off his skills by firing off hundreds of bullets all at once.

He was a rookie worthy of being the strongest person who rose to the rank of the Seven Strongest of the Nation after fanatically pursuing swordsmanship. Edanant, who was looking at the bullets falling to the floor like grains that had been thinned out, stuck out his tongue.
