Chapter 237
No Compromise
Ruri, who had entered the inner fortress, saw a dark room.
No matter how much of an idiot one might be, moving just a little further would let them know this space was created by magic.
Silver cat-eye pupils face forward.
Ruri briefly set foot on the floor and rested her axe on her shoulder.
It didn't seem like continuing in one direction would reveal an end.
Е nu m̄a
If she only walked on the ground, she would surely have said so.
"Tormenta."

-Yes.
The high-grade wind spirit capable of human speech answered her words obediently.
It was a rare sight that even spirit contractors couldn't see.
In preparation for the spirit's connection potentially severing, it was wrapped around her body.

"This place seems to have distorted space."
-That's right. It seems to be a zone created by death.
"Can you find the source?"
Spirits are mysterious organisms made of magic.

They can sense things that not only humans but even dragons find difficult to perceive.
-I'll gladly serve as your eyes.

Hearing those words, Ruri rose into the air again.
"Don't dawdle."
Mobile Brigade Silverwing.
They were not only the strongest, but also the fastest.
Right now, at this moment, Ruri became a silver comet, a wind that cut everything visible.
She didn't just cut everything indiscriminately.

She had the reaction speed and dynamic visual acuity to distinguish between allied forces and demons.
Countless kingdom soldiers and stragglers could only look down at the demonic beasts and demons that had become corpses, not even knowing they'd been saved.
'That's......'
Even so, there was a group that caught Ruri's judgment.
Two women walking through this space nonchalantly.
One wore a rag-like robe, the other had ambiguous half-lidded eyes, unclear if they were open or closed.
W e b̀ ṅ оv̇е̃ ľ Е̇ ñ ů m̊ӓ
'Were there people like that?'
Since she'd guarded Ferda's side, she'd seen many people,

And above all, she felt they were strong.
Are those things enemies, or allies?
Ruri, who hesitated briefly, ultimately decided to pass them by.
The silver comet moved without rest.
Еn u̇mа̄ . і̂ d
At a speed where 5 minutes from the Far East to the Empire was sufficient.
Maintaining that speed, she endlessly turned corners until finally arriving at the source.
Time taken to find it: 3 hours.
Mages rolling Red Circles had gathered in one place and were extracting mana.

They were all focused on one spot.
Seeing their reaction, Ruri reflexively closed her eyes.
Ĕ n̂ u̇ ḿa .і̌ d̈
Trauma is here.
As a seasoned warrior, even with eyes closed, the surrounding scenery was clear as if her eyes were open.
She recalled the spot where gazes converged and swung her axe greatly toward it once.
Puh-seok!
The sound of a juice-filled fruit bursting.
Ruri avoided the baptism of bodily fluids and landed on the floor.

Then an immediate reaction came.
"Aaaaaah!!"
"Your Majesty!"
"It's painful! It's so painful aaaaah!!"
Their joy collapsing, humans screaming in agony.
Screams like they'd fallen into hell itself.
Ẁѐ b̆ n̆ov̆ е l Еn̂ ü m̆ а́
Ruri could sense it.
The mana burning in their circles growing thinner and shattering.

Those who had let out screams and shrieks coughed up blood and collapsed one by one.
Among them, unwilling to die a dog's death, some burned their own bodies and lunged at Ruri.
"May the King have the Void!!"
Emitting red eye-light, they turned their own bodies into bombs.
W̃ ӗ_b̆ nóv̄е́l Е̂ ǹ ü m̈а̀
Of course, to Ruri they were meaningless gestures, and were quickly cleaned up.
Shortly after, she felt space collapsing.
Ruri opened her eyes.
Inside the red space, a disgusting tragedy met her eyes.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Her heart wasn't light.
But it was something that had to be done.
Ẅ е b̀ñо v е̊ l̊ .Ѐ ńum̄ӑ
'Ferda-nim.'
I must find Ferda.
Ruri had promised Valdrova.
That she would send him back home in one piece.
As Valdrova's attendant, she cannot disappoint her.
Though she thought that, she wasn't driven by a sense of duty alone.

Ruri was purely worried about Ferda.
She didn't want to lose him.
'Let's move.'
Ruri steeled her heart and moved.
But as always, an obstacle blocked her path.
"As expected of a Silverwind person. To think you'd try to break through that with your bare body."
W ё.b̊n̄ о_v̆ e.ľ Eň ú m̄ а̀
It was Gokma.
He tore through space and appeared before Ruri.

At that moment, our body moved reflexively.
An action that came before she could even understand.
Because she had no will to converse with Gokma, and had resolved to kill him the moment she saw his form, leaving no opening.
That single-minded resolve moved her incredibly fast, but she couldn't cut Gokma.
Е̊ núm̃à
She cut precisely, but his body was replaced by another human.
Gokma was also a Legion member, and had become an immortal body.
"I understand well that you have no will to converse. Anyway, it's not a problem that needs dialogue."
Space around Ruri distorts.

Shockwaves from that zone tightening and loosening tried to blow away parts of Ruri's body.
But she had the dynamic visual acuity and judgment to perceive such things, and the speed to dodge them.
Е̃ n̊.ü m̊a
Even so, the aggressiveness from the first encounter didn't come out.
'Trauma.'
The anxiety of not knowing when or where that eyeball might pop out was lodged in her mind.
She'd resolved that even if she faced it, she'd definitely escape, but actually facing it was no different from sticking her neck out at an execution ground.
She must avoid it somehow.
Yet faithfully, Gokma kept getting cut by Ruri's axe.

Each time, he appeared again, and Ruri repeated cutting and cutting.
The battle was overwhelmingly advantageous to Gokma.
Gokma already knew the weakness that could break Ruri.
And he was skilled at tricks to entangle her.
Around the time Ruri grew tired of cutting human forms,
When she thought this one she was cutting was just another of the many sacrificial lambs, Gokma dug into Ruri's weakness.
W̄ е̂b̌ n̂ ò v̊ е̇ l̃ Е́ ń ů ḿ а́
"Ugh!"
Where a head should be, there was a large eye.

It pierced Ruri's spirit, instantly dragging her into memories of regret.
'Damn it, again......!'
Ruri staggering.
But unlike the first time, she tries to resist.
Wе̊_b nо́ ṽе ĺ E̊n u ḿа
Since there's something precious right now, she tries to discard the past.
But the past is unavoidable.
It seemed to whisper so.
Soon countless eyes surrounded Ruri, encircling her so she couldn't escape.

Kwa-ang!
A resounding explosion.
Е́n̈ū má
All the illusions shown to Ruri vanished, leaving only liquid and fragments.
What's visible beside her is an object like two rod tubes woven together.
Magitech Shotgun.
That shotgun also glowed golden, unlike the ones knights used.
Only one person could use the Golden Shotgun.
Moving Fortress, Alberto.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"So it's you, Alberto. I almost didn't recognize you without that armor."
"....."
What he wore was different heavy cavalry armor than usual, but the large club he held was like his alter ego.
"I've dropped countless humans and creatures into my space. When I do that, nine out of ten, no, ninety-nine out of a hundred feel helplessness and give up."
"....."
"Yet it's truly ironic that you, no matter how many times I drop you, shake off what can't be shaken off."

"....."
"What is the reason you're so obsessed with me?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
He didn't speak.
Instead, he raised the shotgun he held.
Kwa-ang!
Human flesh collapsing into bright red blood and flesh chunks.

Gokma appeared from where he fell.
"Since you've come this far, you'll need a reward too."
Gokma's eyes changed.
His leisurely, scattered aura sucked into Gokma's center as if becoming a vacuum state.

Red pupils emitted a strange light, and the air turned cold.
In Ruri's head, judgment continued.
Ẽ.n um̄ а
At first she thought to leave it to Alberto and go find Ferda.
But seeing those eyes, she had no choice but to change her mind.
'I must somehow hold this man here.'
That's why she readjusted her grip on her axe and unleashed Dragon Fear at him.
Gokma no longer smiled.
"I'll specially keep you company."

Ureas was resurrected.
In Gamigin's domain, he regained his form through the necromancer's power.
After death, his body was freed.
His form could no longer be called human.
Where legs should be, tentacles writhed, extending freely to toy with opponents.

"Kuaaaak!"
Green flames possessed vicious power.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Not just skin, but even grazing armor made green flames grow uncontrollably, devouring everything.
The battle situation that had been overwhelmingly favorable to Count Rooster reversed in an instant.
After turning to ash and losing his flesh, his body wouldn't die even after being cut by silver swords several times.
One knight risked death to charge in and drive the Order's holy relic into his heart again.
Ẅeb̂n оv̂ё.l̀ Ѐn um а̂
"In Alte's name, I'll purify you, you filthy monster...... ah?"
Ureas's body seemed to scatter into ash, but unlike before, it didn't collapse and regained its form.
-Kuhahahaha!! What a pathetic trick!!
Ureas burst into mocking laughter as if ridiculing the knight.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
And brazenly grabbing the holy relic, he drove it into the man's heart in reverse.
"The, the Order's holy relic......!?"
W е̌ b̈ n ӧ v̊ еl̇ Ё ń ūmа̃
"Just what kind of bastard is he......!"
Even Count Rooster's previously leisurely eyes were no longer the same.
Now he must stake his life to face that bastard.
Now is the chance.
Ferda tried to escape from his position using that opening.
"Don't let the Regent go!"
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Even in the midst of that, Count Rooster didn't leave Ferda alone.
The Order's holy relic isn't just the one driven into his chest.
He took out items prepared for another plan one by one.
It was oil, holy oil blessed by Alte.
When the torch wrapped in holy oil burned, golden flames rose.
Ferda's shadow completely lost its power.
E n ú mа̌ .іd̆
'Damn it.'
This is why Barbatos's Shadow Arts are a problem.

They exert great power when used secretly, but are too weak in frontal combat.
If you don't use them secretly and countermeasures are prepared, they become infinitely powerless.
But Ferda is a mage.
If he can move his fingers and mouth, they're a race with escape methods.
W e b̈nо.v̂е l Е̃ nu m̀ a
Moreover, he survived to the end while receiving all malice.
Ferda concentrated the Magic Aura wrapping his body to the front, forming a shield shape.
And Ferda shaped the mana gathered in his staff into a large bomb form.
And struck it hard toward himself.

Puh-ung!
As a result, Ferda's body was pushed back, allowing him to shake off pursuing soldiers.
Ẇ е̃ b n̆o v̆е l̀ Ӗn̈ u̇ ḿ а
Using one's own attack magic as propulsive force is a foolish act.
A mage's body isn't sturdy like knights', and just rolling three times would mean giving up a bone somewhere.
But Ferda didn't need to do that.
As soon as he escaped the holy oil flames, Ferda's body melted into shadow.
"Regent Ferda used black magic!!"
"Regent Valdrova is a demon follower! Show no mercy!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
In front of everyone watching, but now it couldn't be helped.
With the situation neutralized by holy oil fire, the only remaining path was to run.
Ferda had to move avoiding their pursuit.
'At a time like this, what's needed is......'
What reflexively came to mind was Ruri.
What is she doing?
Еnů m̊а
Her young eyes firming with fighting spirit comes to mind.
If reliable, she's reliable, but he worried she might be crushed by that weight.

'Jed and Arwen......'
Those two also have decent swordsmanship and ability.
Especially Jed, with the Red-Eyed Tribe's unique eyes, exerts the greatest effect when breaking through this situation.
It would be nice if those two were here.
Ẁėb̄_ǹ о vе l Ê n̊ũmӑ
'I've gotten weak too.'
He wondered if this was really Ferda, who believed there was nothing in the world to trust.
Ferda steeled his heart.
Only he himself can break through this situation, and he must believe that.

Relying on luck leads to death.
Ferda moved.

'If I escape this place, where should I go?'
Should I kill those sacrifices to weaken King Hinkel?
Or should I charge straight into the audience chamber and attack?
'The latter is suicide.'
Only when Ruri, Jed, and Arwen are there would a breakthrough barely show.
Weakening King Hinkel's power as much as possible was the priority.

Thinking that and trying to leave,
"Re, Regent Ferda......?"
Someone recognized Ferda and called him.
Turning his head, a knight leaning against a wall with breath nearly cut off was there.
"Who are you?"
"Allied forces...... kingdom knight......"

"Your comrades?"
"All dead...... And I too soon...... will join them......"

"I see."
Ferda tried to leave again, but the knight grabbed Ferda's wrist.
He shouted in a desperate voice.
"King Hinkel died...... Using all holy relics...... We were able to win victory. But...... but the problem is......! It didn't end with that death!"
Ẅ е̃ b̃n õ v̈ ẽl̄ Ёn̄u m а̃
"What does that mean?"
"Save the King...... In the audience chamber...... They...... If it gets any later......"
The knight ultimately couldn't finish all his words and met his death.
Ferda put the Order's symbol that corpse had into its mouth so it couldn't resurrect.

'King Hinkel died?'
Did he really die?
Е̄ n um̌ å
He didn't think a bastard who turned all his territory's people into batteries would die that easily.
'But he said something happens after death......'
Could King Hinkel be bait?
Like Ureas, Gamigin's black magic becomes stronger and more vicious after death.
'Must not be complacent.'
I must take the risk.

Ferda moved toward where the audience chamber was.
Demonic beasts and demons moved to block Ferda, but they were no match for him.
Finally arriving at the audience chamber, Ferda opened the door.
The audience chamber was full of traces of fierce battle, as the knight said.
Those once called elite soldiers were embedded in walls, torn apart, lying on the floor cooling coldly.
All of them must have been people who ran here for the King, for the King's ideals.

Do they know?
That their deaths are vanishing in vain on that faded carpet.

"Die!"
"The book is mine!"
"Do you think I'd hand it over to pathetic things like you!"
The surviving kings to the end were stabbing daggers at each other.

There was no swordsmanship or combat technique to exploit the opponent's opening.
They just repeated stabbing daggers into each other's bodies with eyes rolled back.
