next day. Seira, who went to take Andrzej, did not return.

Since she could teleport twice a day, I was worried that something might have happened.

‘Has something happened at headquarters? Emergency call from the Empire? Or something else…’

It is dangerous to be distracted before the final battle with the Demon God. But still, Yura couldn’t shake off his worries about Seira.

There is one step left. Since they were unable to kill the headless angel Jagannatha, the presence of Seira to take care of the rear was desperately needed.

This place, Tagore Hill, is under the control of the demon god. Because of this, Kylie was unable to exert her full power in a space dense with magical energy, and due to the enemies attacking her without giving her a chance to rest, she was wasting her physical strength and mental power needlessly.

‘It would be nice if nothing big happened…’

Seira’s return was a week later.

Did something unpleasant happen? There was a darker shadow on her face than the sentiment that she was late.

“The commander is dead.”

A face covered in deep shadows, and the crumbly lips beneath it spit out words I didn’t want to hear.

Yura’s mouth was tightly shut. I expected bad news to come, but the psychological shock was greater than expected.

This is because he was a very affectionate person.

She doesn’t know that hundreds of people have been annihilated. It is sadder when people who communicate well and communicate clearly die.

So, since coming to Magyeong, I have really built up a minimal relationship. If possible, people who will never die. Those who have no business participating in the front lines.

Someone like Commander Niedel Schneider…

“Commander? Why?”

Yura was not the only one sensitive to death. Kylie, who is covered in blood, sweat, and dust, doesn’t even care about her own body and instead worries about others.

“You were very healthy the last time I saw you. Maybe you were assassinated…”

“Heart attack.”

“Heart attack? Are you sure about that?”

“Yes, he was alive when I arrived, but he suddenly collapsed the next day.”

“What about the priest? I heard you said you were dispatched from some kingdom?”

Is it a big psychological shock? There was deep agitation on Kylie’s face.

It was not because there was a deep emotional connection with the commander.

Of course, it’s not that she didn’t feel affectionate at all because she had known him for 10 years, but there was another reason why she was so agitated.

“The cause of death is sustained exposure to magic energy. There was so much negativity accumulated that purification rituals were useless.”

“…Then, now we…”

I realized it instinctively.

Yura served as a shield for Kylie from other groups, but she was aware that troublesome things would happen whenever the leader of a group changed.

Resignation of the person in charge, judgment, etc. Every time that happens, those who claim to represent humanity will stop everything until they elect a ‘representative’ based on their interests and contracts…

“It’s an assassination.”

Grinding her teeth, Yura did not hide her discomfort. When Kylie glanced back, Yura’s face was a mess of anger and disappointment.

“Assassination? Didn’t you hear me? Not only from a priest, but also with my own eyes…!”

“Do you think the coalition didn’t know about the commander’s physical condition? You didn’t hire a proper predecessor! At least they should have continued the support!”

Seira’s voice was interrupted by an angry cry. Seira chewed her lower lip and made a groaning sound.

I wanted to shoot back that I was overreacting. But she also saw something, and knew the atmosphere of the scene intimately well.

Everyone had no hope. A sense of duty or anything else, but he is so exhausted that he throws away his responsibilities and simply accepts destruction…

“Uncle Nidel… was killed by the Coalition.”

Yura’s head dropped as if her strength was gone. My voice rose for a moment, but I managed to calm down when I realized that I should not pour out these feelings on Seira.

“Then, the commander who will come as successor is…”

“He won’t come. Even if he does come, he will only take as much time as he is not responsible for.”

Yura said, anticipating that the political situation would unfold in an obvious way.

“Then, what about subjugating demons?”

Kylie opened her mouth with a hint of worry rather than anger, and Yura raised one corner of her mouth and smiled self-mockingly.

“Subdue demons? How many people care about that now?”

“…”

“Most of the corps commanders on the Demon God side have lost their power, and the Demon God’s power cannot cross the mountain range and is confined to the Demon Land. There are probably a lot of people who think it’s okay to end the war like this?”

“……Neighbors nearby are more problematic than enemies far away.”

Seira sighed as if she was tired.

A federation or union of small countries.

What if the demon god is completely subdued? Their greatest enemy would be the Empire.

The only reason to continue the war now was the empire.

No, perhaps the Empire is so dizzy that it has no time to focus on war.

For a long while, there was silence between the three. I felt a sense of shame, wondering what I was doing in front of such a powerful enemy as the Demon God, but my hatred for them made it impossible for me to concentrate on the fight. It was bigger than reason to gauge reality.

“Let’s take time to maintain.”

How many minutes have passed like that? Seira opened her mouth. Yura stared at Seira with wide eyes.

“No!”

“Yura!”

“What do you mean, Seira! We’ve come so close, should we back away from here?”

“…I’m not saying I’m going to get rid of you at all. Look at us…”

Seira did not respond immediately to the harsh voice. He didn’t even finish speaking.

‘What happens to the hunting dog after the hunt is over?’

Yura’s face now. It was so distorted that I wondered if I had ever been this angry. In front of her, Seira couldn’t bring herself to say that she was being used as a discarding word.

“It’s just around the corner. Just need to do a little more.”

Yura also realized this and looked away.

[677,344pt]

There was only a little bit left, and because of the compulsion and nervousness that I could see Hyunjun if I did just a little more… it was difficult to control my agitated energy.

With a head filled with chills, she tried to pretend to think about it later, but she knew the knowledge.

Kylie’s lifespan. Seira’s future. A characteristic of a demon god that can create an apostle. The limitations of a human being who only has one status window…

There was no guarantee that I would be able to do well next time.

When Kylie died? it’s okay now.

Kylie was still in her mid-twenties and in her prime, and even if she died, she could be brought back to life by spending 350,000 points.

but,

Kylie, who was past her prime, couldn’t be sure.

Seira was in her prime even after hundreds of years, but Kylie, a human, was not.

‘The only one who has the qualities of a warrior is Kylie.’

We should also think again about finding someone to carry on Kylie’s legacy and carry on the warrior’s legacy.

Kylie’s talent is truly beyond the pale. A being that would be impossible to be born unless even the orchestrator who controls the world intervenes.

What if it’s 500 years from now?

500 years later. Kylie is reincarnated as Lucia Prien.

She can carry on the hero’s legacy. The world may have been ruined for 500 years, but based on her qualifications and the assumption that she was still within the confines of the system, points could be collected.

However, even if that were the case, it was an assumption made after the demon god was semi-crippled.

The world 500 years from now may still be subject to the system.

I didn’t know how long it would take for the alliance to be relaunched, and even excluding her prime, it was doubtful whether Kylie would ever raise her sword again.

Thump-thump-thump-

Nervousness soon becomes desperation. The color disappeared from Yura’s face, and her breathing became heavy in the illusion that her heart was constricting.

“…We have to keep going like this. Let’s subdue the demon as soon as the sun rises.”

“Tomorrow? Isn’t it too fast?”

“It has to be tomorrow. It’s been too late for a week. There is no retreat once you reach Tagore Hill, and if things continue like this, Kylie’s stamina will only be consumed.”

“In that case, we have to retreat even further!”

Seira’s voice grew louder.

“Guys… Come on, don’t fight… Huh?”

“Kylie. Can you stay out for a moment? I have something to talk about with Seira for a moment.”

“…Yura. I’m okay. I’m fine.”

Kylie spoke carefully while looking at Seira and Yura. However, looking at the two, her heart is ultimately tilted towards Yura.

Seira clicked her tongue and waited for Kylie to come out of the tent. Her eyes gradually filled with pity for Kylie. His hands are covered in scars, his back is bent, his legs are slightly limping, and when the atmosphere around him gets rough, he even looks downcast like a puppy that got caught in the rain.

I don’t know what happened in the past week, but I didn’t have to think too much about it to know that Kylie would have swung her sword more times than Andrzej had.

Let’s think about the emotions and situation like that.

Seira’s body and mind moved one step further from Yura.

“Yura, I don’t know if you don’t fight, but whipping is now your limit. It’s hard to get over the sadness and I can’t sleep well…”

“Seira, Kylie said it was okay.”

Yura responded with a smile on his frowning face.

“You are a grand wizard, wouldn’t you be better than Kylie? And if everything goes according to my plan, it’s okay now. Just you and Kylie can kill the demon.”

“…”

Why on earth are we in such a hurry? Does Kylie’s safety matter? Has your head gone crazy from being exposed to an unclean power for so long?

I have various thoughts. But there is one thing that is clear among them.

The fact is that Seira’s face is just as distorted as Yura’s.

“So, what if I fall out?”

“What are you saying?”

Yura’s voice rose in response to nonsense that didn’t make sense. However, Seira did not care about that and gave herself over to the boiling emotions.

“It’s literally like that. My Danjeon is so swollen that it feels like the tip is falling off every time I use mana. It’s not strange if you make a mistake at any time.”

“…Don’t force yourself.”

“It’s not unreasonable. If things continue like this, I’m just thinking rationally that it’s a dog’s death.”

“Hey, hey!”

Yura tried to stop Seira from running away, but unfortunately, her strength was below that of an ordinary person. He did not have the power or even persuasion to stop Seira, a trained wizard and warrior.

” Cool your head. I’ll go first and wait.”

With just those words, Seira’s appearance disappeared. Yura stared at the spot where Seira was staying with a vain look on her face.

Kylie, who was only eavesdropping on the conversation due to the realization that she could not be of any help in the harsh atmosphere, was unable to help Yura, who was smiling helplessly.

two days later.

Even when Yura dies.
