34. Enlightenment

The large meeting room of the Imperial Palace is full of clutter.

Here, unlike usual, nobles in a heated atmosphere were arguing fiercely with each other.

“I’m not saying that support is impossible right now! I thought I’d come out of nowhere after deploying troops hastily!”

-Then you’re saying we should hold off until the territory is attacked? Now you’re saying that it’s not your territory!

A commotion reminiscent of a marketplace was taking place in the normally quiet conference hall, as if it were an illusion.

The beginning of the incident was a video transmitted through the crystal ball of the northern communication wizard.

-Imperial Northeastern Nightwatch 23rd Platoon Cain Emergency Communication!

Chaejajajajaja-

-Kwaaagh!

What could be seen in the communication port was a faintly audible scream along with fluttering snow and a scene in which a person who appeared to be a member of the Night’s Watch was breathing heavily and running.

-Heog…Heog… Encounter an abyssal corps commander-level object in the border area adjacent to Elvenheim!

Geo uh uh-

-Now! Detour!

Birthman-

-Aagh!

-Tadadadadadat-

-Heog.. Heo.. This is…?

-Gaaa!

The huge monster in the distance and the ominous shape in the clearing were clearly transmitted to the crystal ball.

– Observe and transmit the abnormal reaction of the current corps commander level object!

-The spirit of the empire a…

-Chaw ah ah-

– Chiiik…

Before the Night Watch member could finish talking, communication was cut off with fresh blood covering the entire crystal ball.

However, the northern communication wizard who received this communication hurriedly preserved the video and transmitted it to the imperial palace.

Abyss. The terrible foreign press is consumed with greed to devour the world of Yggdrasil, and it projects a very small part of itself into Yggdrasil.

That is the army of the abyss, the main enemy of mankind, and among them, some who have inherited the factors of the abyss more deeply have powerful strength and faint reason.

The emperor urgently called a countermeasures meeting due to the sudden appearance of a corps commander-level object, and not only the nobles located in the capital but also the lords in each territory participated in the meeting using communication magic.

Looking at the image of a corps commander-level object being reproduced on the wall of the conference hall, the great leaders of the empire were vehemently discussing it.

-Snow Folgar immediately declared wartime and sent his forces to the scene, but found nothing but the Night’s Watch and a destroyed clearing.

At the words of the Archduke Snowfall, a middle-aged man with impressive white long hair, a voice came from another crystal sphere this time.

-The Le Fay family’s magic corps is placed on the border and we are trying to contact Elvenheim… But it seems that there is a problem with Elvenheim currently not being contacted.

At the words of Count Morgan Le Fay, a woman with pink hair and impressive eyes, the ruler of the eastern part bordering Elvenheim, the audience started to stir.

The emperor, who had been silent at her words, opened his mouth.

“Then what is the possibility of being inside the Empire?”

Earl Morgan was troubled by the emperor’s question.

-Seeing that there is no destruction to follow the movement of the corps commander-level object, I’m not sure, but I think it went to Elvenheim.

“Elvenheim..If Elvenheim collapses, the Empire’s frontline will double..”

Marquis Heinkel, one of the Ten Imperials who holds the military authority of the Empire’s central army, said with a worried look.

Because being adjacent to Elvenheim and suffering from the onslaught of the abyss are completely different issues, he was thinking about it seriously.

Viscount Lake, a vassal of the Le Fay family located on the eastern border of the Empire, said.

-Then, first of all, it seems that we need to maintain contact with Elvenheim and have reinforcements in preparation for emergencies.

“We can’t move the central army hastily without even determining where the object is.”

When Marquis Heinkel, who was in command of the central army, refused with a single knife, Count Morgan, who was listening to it, spoke.

-So you’re saying that we’ll just have to let go of our hands and wait and be attacked as soon as possible?

“Isn’t that the point! He knows how much damage the entity could cause if it popped out of nowhere!”

-Are you saying that the Eastern Territory is okay to take damage?

“Stop..!”

As the meeting gradually began to degenerate into emotional battles between nobles, the meeting was progressing sluggishly under the emperor’s words to stop them.

A few days passed and the meeting did not make any progress in objection for objection’s sake.

In the end, the news of Elvenheim came.

From noble mtl dot com

-Half of the land of Elbenheim is devastated! The remaining elves are sieging around the World Tree!

In the end, the news was delivered by an elf who barely survived to ask for help in Elvenheim, which was devastated by the Abyss Corps commander.

In the end, to make matters worse for the Empire, which is now rushing to see its troops, the most unexpected news has begun pouring out of the Abyssal army from the borders of Elvenheim.

Because the beings encroached by the abyss eventually became the abyss, it was now an empire that was desperate to defend its territory, let alone save Elvenheim.

Due to this, the Empire judged that it was too late to save Elvenheim, and decided to deploy surplus troops on the border of the Empire to defend the eastern part of the Empire, which would be the next target of the commander who swallowed Elvenheim.

Yoohyeon hasn’t been in a good mood lately.

“Abyss?”

It was Yoohyeon looking at the leader of the Abyss Corps seen in the crystal ball Rebecca brought.

“Yes. Mr. Yoohyeon. Currently, all spare troops of the empire, including the 50,000 imperial guards, are scheduled to gather in the eastern part.”

“Will Elvenheim be abandoned after all?”

Yoohyeon said bitterly, remembering the two elves he had taught him martial arts.

“Yes.. I think your father has already decided that it is too late..”

“Is that so…”

When he was in Moorim, he said that life and death are all natural things, and he would not interfere as long as it did not harm him.

No matter how much he stepped up to the realm of nature, he couldn’t interfere with all human beings, and I didn’t even think it was right..

The abyss that Yoohyeon could see now was just a monster that swallowed everything at random.

‘Should we just watch innocent people die so fleetingly?’

Yoohyeon was not particularly impressed that the gods were being paid for what they had done, but his heart was troubled when he saw innocent people dying.

“Youhyeon.”

In the middle of a conflict in his mind, it was Yoohyeon who turned his head to Rebecca’s call next to him.

“Youhyeon-nim. You can do whatever you want. Did you know that you’re looking very sad right now?”

Rebecca came up to Yoohyeon and took him into her arms.

“I’m sure if it’s Yoohyeon-nim, he’ll do well no matter what he does. Is that the person I love?”

Yoohyeon, who was silent for a while in Rebecca’s soft arms, spoke.

“…Is it obvious?”

At Yoohyeon’s question, Rebecca smiled and said.

“Sure! You looked like a pitiful puppy that wanted to be petted so much!”

‘Puppy..?’

At Rebecca’s words, Yoohyeon, who was fiddling with his face, smiled.

“There really is no such thing as a ghost. I’ve been bound by the law all this time. Levi, you’re right.”

Yoohyeon said while stroking Rebecca.

“The reason I reached this level was by following the path my heart wanted to go. Heh heh, I guess I forgot about this and was obsessed with a strict place.”

Shaolin empties herself and trains to reach the state of ‘liberation’, and the shaman wields her sword to become a ‘Taegeuk’ that harmonizes the yin and yang of the world.

Hwasan becomes a flower and blooms with a sword to ‘bloom’, and Jongnampa trains itself to reach ‘perfection’.

Then what was my goal?

The reason I wielded the sword was to protect my precious ones, to prevent future injustice, and to carry out my ‘will’ to the world despite my arrogance.

Why should I care about what the world is like?

Isn’t it rather natural to live according to my will?

Yoohyeon felt that the frame that blocked his thoughts was broken.

Rebecca saw that Yoohyeon, who had been petting her, was immersed in thought for a moment, then radiated bright energy.

“Wow…What was that?”

Rebecca looked at Yoohyeon and asked.

“Hmm? I just got a small realization. Thanks to you, Levy. Thank you.”

Yoohyeon said with a smile.

“I don’t know what realization it is, but I’m glad it went well! Ehehehe…”

Watching Rebecca smile, Yoohyeon contemplated her own body, then raised a white light from her hand.

“I think you know how to do this now.”

[Sacred 6->20]

Rebecca was very surprised when she handled the divinity that was felt in his body differently than before.

“Isn’t that a divine power? Yoohyeon-nim, do you believe in a god?”

Rebecca was greatly surprised when Yoohyeon, who had not shown any faith in anyone, took out the divine power that seemed to be very pure.

“Hmm? No. This seems to be my divinity. Levi, are you willing to trust me?”

“Hey hey? Really? Of course I want to believe it!”

Yoohyeon explained how Rebecca nodded violently at Yoohyeon’s words.

“Because of that, I think my divinity will be able to produce the same effect as before even if I don’t put in my qi every day like now.”

Until now, Yoohyeon had put natural energy into Rebecca’s body every day in preparation for poisoning, but as long as the divinity existed in her body, it wouldn’t be necessary.

“And if you’re in danger, Levy, if you wish me deeply, I might know right away.”

Rebecca’s eyes widened at Yoohyeon’s words, but she soon lowered her head sullenly.

“But I’ve already trusted Freya-nim up until now, will that be okay?”

At her words, Yoohyeon looked inside Rebecca’s body and found a familiar energy.

“Hmm..I see. I need to talk to her. Freya. Are you watching?”

[…Yes, Yoohyeon. I guess we should talk. I will open the dimensional door soon, so please wait for a moment.]

A moment after Freya’s message appeared, a dimensional door appeared.

Ugh-

“Then wait a minute.”

“Yes..?”

While Rebecca, who couldn’t keep up with the current situation, lost her mind, Yoohyeon disappeared into the dimensional door.
