Chapter 317
Into the Eye of the Storm
Panic sets in only for a moment.
The surging malice sharpened his mind, and Ferda asks a question.
'What do I do now?'
It was simple.
Ferda turned his gaze to where the hyosi had been launched.
E ń ǔm а
The trajectory of that spot he'd looked up at was clearly visible to Ferda.
'Track it down.'

He had to find the one who fired the arrow.
That's the first step to understanding this chaos.
"Hey! The camp...! Damn it!"
At a time when sticking together was more urgent than ever, there was no leisure to order deserters to return.
È ṅ u m̂ a
Leaving that shout behind, Ferda ran to find the culprit who fired the hyosi.
It wasn't difficult to find him.
The archers hadn't moved a single step and were holding their position, and the trajectory's origin point was also staying in that spot.
He was focused on his mission like the other archers.

"What the hell, you? Which unit are you from, doing this here, ugh?!"
Ferda tripped the commander's ankle with shadow, making him stumble as if caught on his own feet.
W̃ӗb̄ n̂ оv.е l .Еn̄ ú m̀а́
Ferda stood before the one who fired the hyosi.
"Was it you who fired the hyosi?"
"Huh? What, get lost from in front of me—."
He fired a lightning bullet into his foot.
"Kyaaak!"
"What? Wh-what are you doing?!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The archers panicked in an instant and their formation broke.
Some didn't know Ferda's identity and tried to shoot.
But it doesn't matter.
Ferda asks the man.
"Why did you fire the hyosi?"
"Ugh, guuuuh..."
Е̃n̆ üm̃_а̌.
Without a word, Ferda fired another shot.
Only then did he let out words that sounded like screams instead of groans.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Aaaah!! Th-that! They told me to fire the hyosi after shooting 20 times!! Said I should count the numbers...!"
Ferda silently sent current through him.
Stimulating the cells that feel pain, he would feel agony as if his whole body was burning.
"Aaaah! It's true! I don't know anything!!"
W̌ e̊ b̌ n о v́ е̇.ĺ E n̆ûm̈ а̀.
A scream from someone unused to torture.
He checked just in case, but the man knows nothing.
A plausible reason, and one with no need to refuse.
That archer was ultimately being used without even knowing why.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
So he had to dig deeper.
"Who said that? Your commander?"
Ẁ е̃bn оvêl Е ñ ů m̄ ӓ
"No! Someone from the Imperial Command! He had gold epaulettes and said he was Grand Duke Valdemar's attendant!"
Valdemar Golt.
He induced the firing of the hyosi.
The hyosi was a definite signal.
When that signal rang out, Storeus moved to kill Ferda.
It's absolutely no coincidence.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
'Don't tell me...'
Storeus was wishing for Valdemar's death.
But he wasn't just wishing for his death.
What if he had an arrangement with Valdemar too, like when he called Ferda to the castle to cooperate in killing Valdemar?
"So I really don't know anything more! Now let me go—."
Crunch!
W е̂ b̆n о v̇ ёl̆ É n ūm а̄
His words didn't continue to the end.
At the same time, all of Ferda's senses were temporarily cut off.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Ferda felt a sensation piercing through his head.
That sensation terribly pierced through his helmet, penetrated his skull, stirred his brain, and eventually pierced out the other side and through the archer man as well.
The difference was that he died, while Ferda did not.
He was a man who had become one with shadow, and as long as he could react, mere physical force couldn't bring him instant death.
W̌еb̄ ň öṽ ĕl̄ Е nu m̊ à
'Still hurts though...'
Just recognizing the fact that he received extreme pain could lead to instant death.
He convinced himself that the sensation of his head being pierced was separate from death, and his body accepted that persuasion, leaving no major aftereffects.
Ferda melted his head and pulled it out of the helmet.

"Uweok?!"
"Mo-monster!"
W ẽb̆n̊ov ě l̈ Е̂ ṅũm̌а
People shouting at the sight of Ferda.
That scene was bizarre, like black slime crawling out of a helmet.
Anyway, in a situation like this, no one dared imagine he was human.
Ferda looked at where the spear was lodged. Judging by the trajectory, it wasn't an attack aimed at the archer.
'They intentionally tried to kill me.'
There's no one in the Far East who would throw a spear with such outrageous force to punish a deserter.

The opponent knows his identity, and their purpose is clear too.
The only question is who the hell it is.
"Here you are, Ferda Valdrova."
Surprisingly, the answer came down from the sky.
Dark navy hair and vertically split pupils.
A familiar predator's smile.
Ӗ.n̄ūm а̀
'Storeus's Spawn.'
A soldier who should be participating in the World Tree War has blatantly left the camp and is targeting Ferda.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
'He already realized I'm not there.'
Not just a simple mistake—he seems to have even made the Spawn check.
"S-Spawn of Storeus, why have you come here? This is the Empire's—."
The commander who had tripped over his own feet let out a dazed sound before his head flew off.
Ѐṅ ũ m̄а
Storeus's Spawn cut him down like swatting a fly.
He killed an Imperial noble, but it wasn't even in his consideration.
He only looks at Ferda.
"Storeus-nim wants your head. And he left a message too."

He didn't need to hear it to know.
"There is no malice."
Ёnu̇ mа̊. і̌d̃
Right, figures.
He prepared to flip the middle finger at that message.
But something flew in from behind Ferda at an even faster speed.
Ferda didn't dodge.
Not only could he not dodge, but more than anything, it wasn't aimed at him.
A spear flew in and pierced straight through Storeus Spawn's chest.

'No, it's not a spear.'
It was a staff.
He threw the staff faster than wind, killing with penetrating power comparable to a spear.
The assassin sent to kill Ferda met his death like that, and the staff's owner appeared before him.
The staff's owner had silver hair.
'A Silverwind Spawn saved me.'
W̆е̃ b n̈ о̀v.е l̊ Е́ ñ ům ā
Unexpected events rush in like a tidal wave.
If he lets his guard down even a little, he'll be swept away by the rapids and lose his life.

He turned his head and made eye contact with Ferda.
They were the same silver eyes as Ruri, and a face he'd seen once before.
"It's a message from Goz-nim."
With an expression suppressing personal emotions, he said this.
Ẁ ēb̃no v_ẽl Е n ǔmа
"10 minutes."
What the 10 minutes were for became clear soon enough.
Storeus's Spawn poured in like a flood, and Silverwind's Spawn also gathered to prepare for battle.
Two Spawns they believed were allies were pointing weapons at each other.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"What? Why are Storeus and Silverwind sides fighting each other?"
For humans who knew nothing, it felt like a disconnect from their perspective.
Ĕñ ù mӓ. і d̃
Even seasoned commanders couldn't figure out how to handle a situation so chaotic they couldn't tell friend from foe.
Ferda was the same.
'Pull yourself together.'
For whatever reason, he gave 10 minutes of time.
Ferda had 10 minutes where he could do something right now, so he had to move.
'Disguise again?'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
No, they'll figure it out in the end.
He must never underestimate them.
'Return to camp?'
The Far East will try to protect me.
And everyone will die.
It's the worst option.
W̄ е̇ b n̈.о́ vеl̀ Е̇ n̆ ũm̀ a
'Leave the battlefield?'
It's a bad move.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Using teleportation magic within 10 minutes or escaping by vehicle is impossible.
There's no way for Ferda to escape from this storm.
'Then...'
If I can't get out of the storm,
Е̇ ǹ ŭ m̆ а.іd̆
'Enter the eye of the storm.'
The inside will be calm.
Ferda's eyes turned to the mokbyeok created by the World Tree weaving its branches.
Ferda decided to jump into it.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
He started running into the battlefield where swords and spears flew wildly.
"Regent Ferda is running away!"
Ё nǔm а. і̄d_
Voices chasing Ferda.
"Stop him somehow! This is Silverwind's will!"
And voices blocking them mixed and faded repeatedly.
Just running blindly will never reach it.
'Trash body.'
A steel-like body that could never be built through effort.

Even so, Ferda ran with everything he had.
What he was aiming for was separate.
Now it was time.
From the ridge, something long and huge revealed itself.
Vwoooong!!
A high-output engine's tearing scream.
Е̌n u mă
Bbaaaang!!
An even bigger and deeper horn sound.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Kiyaaahoooo!!"
And a mad cheer is heard.
A bizarre woman in a bunny girl outfit with sunglasses was running with her tongue out like a dog in midsummer.
That dog-like woman's name is Gae Bolg.
Е̄ n um̈ а́.і̃ d̆
"Kyaaaaaek!? Front! People! People joosiiiim!!"
The woman in the passenger seat was screaming.
The pink-haired woman was Penelope.
Ironically, a demon herself was screaming like she'd seen a demon.

A car with a rabbit face on the front bumper was pulling a huge trailer behind it and charging toward the center of the battlefield.
"What the hell is that hideous thing?!"
Ê nũm̄ а̇. ìd
"Dodge it if you want to live!!"
The rabbit made from the car's front bumper—no one saw it as a rabbit.
Its mouth and eyes held blue flames from overheated mana stones, heated to a searing red, truly the appearance of a rabbit that conquered hell and returned.
That appearance stimulating human survival instinct inevitably collapsed formations and cleared the path ahead.
"Eheheheh!! Move aside right now if you don't want to die! Huh?"
Don't know what wind blew, but Gae Bolg turned her gaze somewhere.

There, a gray-haired man was looking at her.
Their eyes met.
They recognized each other in a mere 0.03 seconds.
Gae Bolg's reaction speed was marvelous.
She turned the steering wheel to move toward where Ferda was.
"Kyaaaaaek!!"
W̃e ḃ n̊ о_v el Еn úma
The precarious acrobatics' sound effects were replaced by Penelope's screams.
"Grab it!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Eh, eeh?!"
Gae Bolg let go of the steering wheel and leaned her body out the window.
Penelope felt the rattling chassis and barely grabbed the wheel in a desperate struggle to live.
Gae Bolg stuck half her body out and stretched her hand out straight.
Е̂ǹ u m̆а
"Hold on tight!"
Ferda looked at that hand and thought.
Would those twig-like hands break or would his shoulder dislocate if he grabbed them?
Such doubts arose, but with no better option, Ferda had no choice but to grab that arm.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Like a branch found while being swept away in rapids, he clutched it.
After that, Gae Bolg's action was truly astonishing.
Е n üḿа̃.ї d̈
The moment Ferda grabbed that arm, Gae Bolg flexibly extended her body.
Then, using the recoil from catching Ferda's body, she hauled him up as if throwing him into the back seat.
Thus Ferda joined them very naturally.
"Let go now. He's mine, you bitch."
"Wh-what?! Who got in?! Uh, Re-Regent-nim?!"
Penelope shouted looking at Ferda like someone clutching a lifeline.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Regent-nim, please save me! This woman, she's a crazy bitch!!"
She figures it out really fast.
Gae Bolg grinned and said.
"Why? You're the one who jumped in saying you liked it? Said you liked being handled roughly too?"
"Not like this! I wanted it more in bed! Sticky! Waaahhh! I wanted to do it like that!"
"Sorry, I don't have a hobby of sharing a bed with women! Hahaha!"
Е n_úm ӓ . і̆ d̂
It feels like my mind is being polluted.
The endless malice he felt was forgotten for a moment.

Gae Bolg fixed her gaze forward and asked Ferda.
"Looking at your state, seems you're in a bind. Want to come with me?"
"Will it mess up the plan?"
"Plans can change. Just now we went from Plan D to BW because of you."
Е n ůḿ а
"You want an apology?"
"I told you. Plans go up to ZZZ."
She smiled broadly and slammed the pedal.
"We're still within operation parameters!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Vwoooooong!
The engine roars fiercely.
Ën úm а . і̇d̊
"Kyaaaaaek!"
Penelope's screams also burst out vigorously.
The remaining distance to the World Tree's wall was roughly 500 meters.
The car shows no sign of stopping and continues forward.
Piercing through the waves of people, finally 200 meters.
"Good, Bunny Missile launch!"

She put her finger on the prepared button and pressed it.
Click!
A sound of the coupling parts releasing simultaneously from the driver's seat area that was combined with the engine.
The engine that was pulling the trailer and body was moving forward, shedding its weight.
The high-output engine literally flew like a missile, and like a shell leaving a cannon barrel, it slammed into the mokbyeok.
Kwoong!
Е́ num̈ ӑ
The mana stone powering the engine destabilized and caused a huge explosion.
An explosion big enough to blow away the surroundings, but it wasn't enough to bring down the mokbyeok.

'No problems with the plan?'
No matter how I look at it, it seems to have failed.
As he was thinking that.
He realized next how short his thinking was.
Е̌nu̇ mӓ
From the engine part that crashed into the mokbyeok, it begins to dye purple.
'Killer Queen.'
Gae Bolg didn't believe from the start that just crashing it would break it.
Ejecting that engine part was to spread the Killer Queen solution.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Killer Queen!!"
She shouted as if chanting a spell and pressed the trigger hard.
Ẇе bn̄ о̂v̊ĕl̆ Е n ûm̃ а
But the returning reaction was nothing.
"This fucking shit."
Curses from Gae Bolg's mouth.
She presses the trigger multiple times, but it seems to be a dud.
"Do I just help?"
"Right! It broke because of you! Hurry up and give it one shot!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Her shamelessness was beyond words, but Ferda obediently did as she said.
He already knows what the Killer Queen solution reacts to.
What's needed is a little stimulation.
"Lightning Bolt."
A lightning bullet leaving Ferda's hand.
Stretching out like light, it struck the engine's core precisely.
Е́ n̄ ú.m а̀
Destabilized particles are sensitive to stimulation, causing a chain reaction.
Kwoooong!!!
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
A blinding light and explosion erupt from the mokbyeok.
Ferda moved quickly.
He snatched Penelope's sunglasses right off her face to protect his own eyes.
"My sunglasses! Kyaaaaaek!! My noooon!"
Е̄ n ŭ mа̄ . ī d̀
She grabs both eyes and lets out a messy scream.
There's no better music in the world than this.
The car, moving even without its engine, moved to the center of the bombardment.
A huge secondary explosion occurred too, but some remained.

But it was enough.
The force of the trailer's weight and speed could clear that much debris.
W̃еb ǹ o v̂еl̀ Е́ n̂ um а
Kwa-gwa-gang!
Thus they succeeded in breaking through the mokbyeok and entering inside.
The eye of the storm Ferda imagined.
That eye had calm, but no peace.
Countless malices were still directed at Ferda.
