42. To Elbenheim

With the help of the Ivory Tower Master, the Great Mage of the 8th Circle, where there are less than 5 people on the continent, almost all Abyss entities near the border have been annihilated in the East. Wire.

Due to the nature of the abyss, it would be difficult to increase their numbers without a life form to support them, so on the eastern front, only a small number of sporadically protruding abyss entities were annihilated and the front line was solidified.

This is the room of Count Morgan, who is in overall command of the imperial army, who built a fortress and wall in just a few days using the magical power of wizards.

“Please send reinforcements! The situation is urgent!”

An elf knelt down in front of Count Morgan, who was reorganizing the battle lines and commanding the front line, lowering his head and shouting.

That proud and arrogant elf would kneel before a human!

Even the head of the elf had the watchman’s mark, which is given only to the elite of the elite of elves, the master level in terms of humans.

Even though the other elves looked at it, the elven warrior, who did not care about the situation, begged Morgan while still on his knees, and Morgan made a troubled expression.

“Enough, you know that there is no chance that Lord Raven’s words will come true.”

As if in trouble, Morgan grabbed Raven’s arm and tried to raise him up, but he shook his head and didn’t even think about getting up.

“But… Elvenheim is holding up! I can tell! Trust me!”

Morgan nodded his head at his words of desperate persuasion, perhaps feeling the fact that the world tree was still in good health with the ability to find the world tree unique to elves.

“I’m not doubting what you said either. The fact that the Abyss’ all-out assault has not come yet must be because Elvenheim is holding out.”

At her words, the elf raised his head and shouted.

“Then why…!”

Looking up at Raven, who jumped up and screaming in anger, Morgan erased his pitying expression and quickly hardened his expression.

From noble mtl dot com

Morgan, who had gone from feeling sorry for the situation of the elves, to being the face of an imperial commander in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops in an instant, said Morgan.

“Apart from the pity I personally feel, I am the person responsible for the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and even hundreds and tens of millions of the empire’s people. Thinking of the countless soldiers who will fall due to the decisions made at my fingertips, I feel even more anxious. You just have to be careful.”

“Keugh…! But if it’s the Empire’s troops, can’t we win?”

Looking at her face, Raven spat out a saliva and tried to speak as if grabbing the last straw, but…

“A battle that would have been prevented without much damage if we fortified the front line and defended ourselves like now, but if we faced the abyss in the Great Forest, we would suffer enormous losses. It may sound heartless, but as the commander-in-chief in charge of the eastern part of the Empire, I am the commander-in-chief of tens of thousands of elves. Rather, they had no choice but to consider the safety of the Imperial Army more important.

Even if Elvenheim perishes.

All I have to say is that this is the end.”

Kwaaak-

Raven, who had clenched her clenched fists until blood flowed from her firm words, stood up without saying anything and left Morgan’s room when she heard her voice.

“I’d rather sit still and let the Empire humanely accept me if I abandon the World Tree and escape…”

Broken at the sound of her voice that drove a wedge into his heart until the very end, the gnashing elf warrior left her office.

“…I’ll remember…”

Whether it was about her decision or the answer to what she said at the end, Morgan raised her forehead while looking at Raven’s back after she had left her incomprehensible words.

“Haa… I know with my head, but I can’t help but feel that my heart hurts…”

No matter how many times he thought to himself that this was the right choice, Morgan felt his heart suffocate when he recalled the image of an elf who was only of a different race and was about to die innocently.

“Phew~ Looks like this place.”

At that time, Yoohyeon, who finally arrived at the fort on the frontier of the eastern front, a place bordering the border of Elbenheim and where the elite of the Imperial Army, including Count Morgan, were gathered, looked at the fairly solid walls and fell into trouble.

“It looks like it’s not as dangerous as I thought. I tried to help you if you need help…”

‘Seobang! If the situation in the east is serious, can you help me a little? My sister is there. She has the same hair color as me, so you won’t get confused!’

Looking at the fortress, remembering what Rebecca had asked before Yoohyeon departed from the imperial palace, he felt no need to help right away at the numerous forces and powerful energy that he felt when he was about to head for the Elven Forest.

Unlike a normal castle, a figure fell from a fortress that had no entrance to the outside.

“Hmm?”

That person was Raven, an elf warrior who was one of the pretty strong characters that Yoohyeon felt just now.

Just as Yoohyeon was about to head towards Elvenheim, he saw him running toward Elvenheim and became interested.

“These are the eyes prepared for death..”

In his life, he had seen countless groups of humans, but the ones with faces like that elven man now transcended even the fear of death.

Ordinary people would be frustrated by the reality that they cannot resist, but a very small percentage of people did not give up until the end and fought against it.

All of them burned themselves because they had something more precious than themselves, and their splendid flames remained deep in Yoohyeon’s heart.

-Go, disciple!

The final scene of Master sacrificing himself to protect his pupil.

-Even if I die, my heart will not be broken.

A swordsman who burned with a will that would not be broken even when death was right in front of him.

-Please take care of Hee-ya..

The image of a colleague asking for a daughter who had just been born.

While Yoohyeon, soaked in sentimentality, stood there for a while, he was Yoohyeon, who quickly followed Raven’s appearance in the direction of Elvenheim.

‘Hmm… I’m personally interested in it… Let’s pretend I got a guide…’

Yoohyeon, who was on top of Raven’s head, was thinking.

Raven, not noticing that something strange (?) Was attached to her head, was running to return to Elvenheim in a hurry.

‘I have to go faster.. I have to go faster.. To save as many people as possible..’

Raven was confused by the energy of the World Tree, which he could still faintly feel in his senses.

“Even if there is no world tree anymore… Surviving is the priority.”

Although it was an elf who gained stronger power by worshiping the world tree, Raven had to make a big decision in the current situation when it became clear that the Empire’s support had failed.

Even if you have to live without the world tree, you have to survive in the end.

-If you don’t mind sitting still, if you throw away the world tree and escape, the EmpireI’ll make sure you accept it humanely..

Raven recalled a conversation with the commander of the Imperial Army who had just spoken with him.

He was even more unable to rest his legs when he thought of the situation in Elvenheim, where he was barely holding on with the cooperation of the queen and the priests while sending his warriors, including himself, still hoping for the Empire’s support.

Ah uh uh–

Chow-

At the point where it had been quite some time since she was out of the range of magic, Raven proceeded to slash the group of people from the abyss with a single sword.

The overflowing vitality of the Great Forest where the World Tree is located has been engulfed in the filth of the terrible abyss and has become corrupted.

“Guaaa”

Boo Woong-

“Kuh?”

The time I cut the approaching abyss with a sword wrapped in sharp aura,

From Raven’s side, as if an ogre had transformed into an abyss, it swung its arm like a large paper log boasting the height of a small building.

Booooong-

An arm almost as big as his body came crashing down on him.

“Ahhh!”

Raven raised the aura with his sword, and the aura that flowed from Raven’s sword gradually took shape and became a shining sword.

Squeak-

Raven’s sword, which used a technique called Aura Blade or Sword Gang, a skill allowed only to the strong at the master level or higher, split the body of a large species in half, which seemed to have a difference in physique dozens of times.

Koo-woo–

The body of the giant large species fell and Raven stole sweat.

“Whoa…”

I was taken aback by the sudden surprise, but the moment Raven, who quickly organized the large species, was about to leave the spot,

“Uhhhhh…”

“Awesome…”

I wonder if making a loud noise when arranging the large bell was the source of the trouble.

A multitude of Abyssal hordes approaching him, crushing nearby trees in an instant.

Ravn chewed his lips at the sight of a figure that seemed to easily exceed one hundred even if he counted the numbers he could see at first glance.

‘There is no abyss on the road I’ve come on yet… But if I don’t break through now, there’s no hope.’

The abyss had not yet appeared behind Raven’s back, and he had an intuition that he could live if he escaped even now, but he just straightened his sword and silently moved forward.

‘I can’t die here… No, I won’t die…!’

Like that, Raven jumped into the endless waves of the abyss.
