It was definitely not a bad situation.

Although it cannot be said to be advantageous even in empty words, a certain offense and defense were established in the battle with Cheonharang.

Up until now, they had been at a disadvantage, but thanks to Anna and Belle appearing like saviors at the last minute, the future was uncertain.

Yeah… that must have been it.

“Master, are you too late?”

If this guy hadn’t shown up without notice.

“Hmm… It seems to be just right.”

“Ah.”

Camilla couldn’t help but furrow her brow as she looked at her blocked greatsword.

“Then there really is no answer.”

What the heck is going on here?

Just when a glimmer of hope was about to appear, another disaster struck as if to mock them.

Cheonharang. Even when this monster was alone, the battle was at a disadvantage.

“… This pedophile check.”

The monster’s disciple appears?

‘Why now of all times?’

There is no farce like this one.

“… What.”

However, no matter how bad the situation is, you can’t just give in to it.

“Sigh-!”

Camilla put both feet on top of the greatsword that was blocked by the nameless man, and then kicked it away with a bang! She pushed the nameless man back with the greatsword.

Next, Anna and Lucius’ swordsmanship moves towards Mu-myeong, not Cheon-ha-rang.

“… Tsk.”

“Oh my, be careful.”

“Thank you.”

Harang, who lightly avoided the sword strike aimed at the nameless man by grabbing his nape, spoke calmly, and a silence like the calm before a storm suddenly appeared between the two groups.

‘So… what should I do now?’

These words came to mind not only for Camilla, but also for all the warriors in the group.

How can I stop her?

First of all, if we interpret the current situation, the option of using physical force to stop her is virtually ruled out as soon as Anonymous appears.

Because when they collide, it’s absolutely certain that one of the two groups will lose their life.

The odds of that happening are extremely high, and even if it does end up being the opposite, it’s not the ending the group of warriors want.

‘In this standoff, fighting should be avoided if possible.’

It may be overly hopeful, but it was certainly the best.

Then there is another way.

‘Should I appeal to emotions?’

Is it necessary to stop Cheonharang through emotions rather than force?

Her nature is clearly good.

Of course, she would also feel uncomfortable about this. But.

‘This is bullshit.’

In fact, this story is nonsense.

Well, if persuasion had worked, I would have done it a long time ago.

Isn’t it because that doesn’t work that things have gotten to this point?

‘Another way… .’

We have to find another way.

Camilla looked around, hoping that perhaps someone other than herself might have a flash of thought in their head.

“…”

They exchanged sad looks, as if they were equally frustrated.

‘There is no answer.’

Camilla let out a sigh without realizing it.

And then I thought of the easiest way.

‘Should I give up?’

Didn’t they try this hard too?

Even if you give up here, there will be no one who can throw stones.

But is this really the only way?

Should I really give up?

Should I just watch Cheonharang commit the act of killing the god of this world, whether I like it or not?

If that happens, what will happen to this place?

Since there has never been a time when God did not exist, we cannot know whether this world would continue to exist or disappear if he did not exist.

Even if it is maintained, what will be the perspective of the remaining world looking at Cheonharang?

No, will Cheon-ha and her still be here? It will really be irreversible.

‘… This is annoying.’

The more my thoughts continued, the more I wanted to escape from this situation.

The frustration was compounded by the fact that the group initially did not know her ultimate goal.

It would be nice if they could speak frankly, but Cheonharang strangely did not talk about himself at all, perhaps because he did not trust them.

So, after a long silence, when my head started to feel dizzy.

Was this silence uncomfortable?

“Anonymous.”

If not, then Cheonharang took a step back and opened his mouth, as if there wasn’t much time left.

“One tea time. Can you hold out?”

“Yes, Master.”

In response to my teacher’s question, Myeong-un added with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

“Up to half an hour is possible.”

“… Okay, sorry, but please.”

“The heavenly teacher should not feel guilty towards this poor disciple.”

“Foot… Okay.”

Cheon Ha-rang, who had been adding briefly, stepped back, and Cheon Mu-myeong stood in front as if to replace him.

At the same time, a strange light returned to Camilla’s eyes.

‘Il-da-kyung, so you want me to hold out for about 15 minutes?’

Ha. There’s hope.

Is that the reason, the reason why Cheonharang left this place, because it’s really frustrating?

Even with that level of power, she’s still so fearful, and she does everything with certainty?

She said she couldn’t stand to see her disciple get hurt, so she’s the one who takes care of everything, so she’s stepping down and leaving Moo-myeong alone?

‘No way.’

As the thought occurred to her, the corners of Camilla’s mouth went up.

“Grandma. We don’t have much time?”

“…”

There was no answer from her, but that was the answer that was certain.

I don’t know the exact reason, but Cheonharang doesn’t have time right now.

I’m guessing that her goal is the sphere escaping, but even if that doesn’t happen, she probably wants to block any situations where unnecessary variables could arise.

‘good.’

As the thought reached that point, not only Camilla but everyone in the group smiled.

Although small, there is a chance of stopping her.

It’s so slim that it’s almost impossible, but it’s possible.

How could I not be happy?

‘If only I could stop that old lady from going over there!’

However, in order to do that, there was one wall that had to be overcome.

“The teacher is busy, so I will deal with you.”

The wall blocked their path, he added.

“Go.”

And, at the same time as the anonymous words ended.

Thud! The nameless man who hit the ground roughly leaped towards Lucius.

A speed so fast that it disappears from the party’s sight for a moment.

If it were an ordinary person, this one move would have torn them in half, but Lucius is also called a warrior who has overcome countless trials and tribulations.

Don’t observe your opponent with just your eyesight.

Squeak! The holy sword emitting a brilliant light and the nameless sword covered in ominous ink clash.

Boom! The nameless sword swept across the holy sword’s face and stuck into the ground.

For a moment, Lucius’s brow furrowed at the trembling hands caused by the brief shock.

Then, Myeong-un gritted his teeth and drew his sword towards Lucius’ wrist.

It was a pathetic posture that would have made my teacher scold me, and I couldn’t even exert my strength properly.

“Ugh… !”

But the threat was enough.

Originally, the purpose of being anonymous was to prevent anyone from approaching my master, Cheonharang.

This means that rather than subduing and defeating them, simply attracting their attention is enough to achieve the goal.

And, as if to prove this.

thud!

Camilla judged Lucius to be dangerous and threw her greatsword at the nameless man.

“Hey, pedo. Stop wasting time and come at me quickly.”

The obvious provocation made Myeong-un narrow his eyes. Then.

“Wow!”

He added calmly, swinging his sword at Anna, who was approaching his teacher while hiding her identity.

“No one can go to the Master.”

“… Tsk, nothing is easily solved.”

* * *

God. To be exact, I stood in front of the sphere that was encasing that damned guy.

One step forward.

Just one more step and it’s all over.

It is liberation from the agonizing curse, from the nightmare that has not been awakened for eons.

You can achieve true freedom.

“… Is it really the end?”

Suddenly, a question popped into my head.

If everything had gone according to the original plan, I would have completed the God-Slaying Sword Technique by killing this god, raised my own level, and finally reached the top…

‘Is this really what I want?’

Is it really what I want to do to go back there in this body?

As always, not running away like a worm. Is this really what I want to do?

“… I don’t know.”

Just one step forward.

My head was so complicated, I felt like I was in a state of obsession.

Was there really no other way?

Couldn’t everyone have just laughed and talked about it instead of me making the sacrifice?

Couldn’t it be that not only I could achieve my goal, but that everyone could reach a safe ending?

Really, should this story end with me becoming the final boss, the hero being defeated by the Demon King, and the world being destroyed?

… Should I send my disciple, the disciple I love so much, to the brink of death?

“Puhh… .”

Laughter erupted at the questions that arose.

As expected, I’m naturally timid. I’m overly timid and hesitate until the very end.

Damn it, I don’t change.

Okay, I’ve decided.

Lastly, don’t hesitate and do whatever you want.

“That’s it. Yeah.”

Immediately afterwards, the sword was thrust down.

Light bursts out.
