Chapter 355
Iorga (Illustration)
At the Supreme Commander's appearance, everyone couldn't hide their bewilderment.
Especially, Abdulmesid frowned.
The person called Supreme Commander was a child who had never gotten a single drop of blood on their hands, so it was only natural for antipathy to rise first.
Though he didn't speak, Hudret was feeling similar emotions as well.
"Excuse me, young lady."
Е̊ ǹ um ӑ. ï d̀
Hudret spoke first.
"Among the people I know, there's a girl just as small and cute as you, with an incredibly filthy appetite, who lived an unimaginably long time? Are you that type too?"

"I am 15 years old this year."
"15 years old?"
"Yes."
"Not 15 full years?"
W̆ѐ b̀ n̊ o ṽ е l E n̆ u mа
"10+5."
"Hmm......"
Same as her visible appearance.
Hearing those words, Hudret tilted his head and showed a subtle reaction.

Abdulmesid didn't even deal with Mori.
Instead, he spoke to Ferda standing behind her.
Ѐ n̈ um̆ā
"What is this, Regent Ferda? The sudden decision is bewildering enough, but you're saying you'll make this girl our commander?"
Ferda answered that complaint.
"I swear on Valdrova's name, I did not make this choice lightly. For this operation, Mori's ability is necessary."
"Shouldn't you tell us what that ability is?"
"Mori is the contractor of the Universal Library."
The knowledge possessing all records of the Serdes Continent.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
That amount was said to make even the records within Escolea a mere handful.
"For a Universal Library contractor, she speaks well. As if she has a self."
But that knowledge is forbidden knowledge.
They knew it was something that makes one lose their ego and become a slave.
Naturally, they thought Ferda's words were a lie.
Mori stared at Abdulmesid's face and spoke.
Еn̆ù m̂а
"Abdulmesid. Before being recognized as a Great Warrior, your name was Kasim. Not knowing how to express yourself to the woman you liked, you threw a tailless scorpion and enjoyed her reaction."
"!!"

"After that, you tasted quite the bitter price of first love and cried with your fist in your mouth for three days."
"That should be a record sealed only in our clan......"
Abdulmesid's complexion was a sight to behold.
Because the reddish hue rising on that dark-skinned face was truly rare.
Е̂ n̄u m̂ а .і d
Hudret raised both hands and declared surrender.
"Before the Great Universal Library's brat examines my record, I'd better tuck tail quick. Can you keep it secret?"
"Of course."
Abdulmesid frowned unnecessarily from embarrassment and spoke.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"I understand you're the Universal Library's contractor, but what you gain through that is knowledge. It'd be best not to think it'll work in actual combat."
"That is why I intend to elect a vice-commander. That vice-commander shall be Olivia Arken, designated as the Saintess."
Wê.b̃n̄ о̌ v̊е̂l Ѐn u mǎ
"Oh my, me?"
Olivia brazenly covered her mouth with her hand.
"Hmm. There must be a valid reason for that judgment, right?"
It was the moment the two generals' pride was about to crack.
Mori answered calmly.
"General Hudret has shown excellent results in anti-personnel warfare, and General Abdulmesid in anti-giant monster warfare, but you have almost no experience in anti-monster warfare. Above all, Olivia Arken has proven her ability in anti-monster warfare early on, and has experience as well. Thus, I judged her the suitable person to simulate strategy as vice-commander."

"You don't believe our achievements?"
"There are records of the Imperial Army being annihilated at corps-level while responding to monsters. And that was a recent event."
No matter how much you ignore Alexander, wasting that kind of numbers wasn't an easy task.
"I am certain that the ones who fully grasped the enemy's war potential are myself and Saintess Olivia."
"Hmm, certainly we haven't seen many monsters. Even when we did, the numbers were few and they were ferocious, so we only had to respond immediately. That's the same for you too, isn't it?"
"I've dealt with things as ferocious as monsters, but......"
Еnūm̄ā
Hudret nodded, but his unconvinced expression remained.
Abdulmesid roughly set down his sword and spoke.

"Instead of this, let's decide with a mock battle. The four of us should be enough to reach a conclusion!"
"I think that's right too, so how about the four of us doing it? If the results are clear even then, I'll accept it."
"Understood."
Mori nodded and agreed.
Е́nu m̊.ӑ.і d̆
The mock battle started above, and a conclusion was reached in a few hours.
In anti-personnel and anti-giant monster warfare, Hudret and Abdulmesid both seemed to hold a slight advantage.
But playing above their heads was Mori.
"This is crazy......"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Even those watching the battle couldn't help but be horrified.
When they thought she'd been pushed to a disadvantage, she threw a decisive move
Е̇n̂ um̂а̌
The standardized army was stirred up to induce a melee, and surprise attacks were handled with ambushes.
Not simply textbook responses, but flexible adaptations.
It was a level that wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she'd been through countless battlefields.
"The verdict is in."
"........."
Abdulmesid tried to deny that fact.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Actual combat isn't like this, how often would such situations arise in the field?
He tried to push that angle, but there was something he'd said.
Even if his pride was hurt, the fact that he lost didn't change.
Abdulmesid sighed deeply and placed a hand on his chest.
"I will acknowledge you as commander and follow your will."
"I shall do the same."
Е ǹu̇ mа . і ď
Hudret also raised no objections.
He didn't look like his pride was hurt like Abdulmesid.

Ferda knows that gaze.
'The gaze that looked at me......'
Eyes soaked in greed that willingly acknowledged Mori's ability and wanted to possess it.
Resembling a child kidnapper, he unnecessarily made himself stand beside Mori.
Ӗn ûmӑ . і ď
"I acknowledge you as Supreme Commander, Miss Mori. If there's anything you need, please tell me. As vice-commander, I will devote myself to you."
Olivia elegantly took Mori's hand and spoke.
Mori's pupils turned toward Olivia.
"Then, may I ask one favor?"
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
"Yes, of course."
"That......"
Е ǹ úm̊ a.і d́
Mori brought her mouth close to her ear and whispered.
"May I call you eonni?"
"Eh, eonni?"
Olivia asked back in bewilderment.
Different from the gaze that held her as commander. The gaze of a girl admiring another girl.
At the same time, she whispered in a voice containing shyness.

"We both have blonde hair, and I have blue eyes too......"
Unlike her cruel and bold command, the remarkably girlish words bewildered Olivia.
But that purity was so welcome she answered politely.
"Of course. It's a good thing for me too, to have such a smart younger sister."
At the permission, Mori's face blossomed.
Even in such a harmonious moment, there were unwelcome existences.

Olivia felt a chill run down her spine.
She'd just been called eonni, but for some reason she felt resentment directed at herself.
And from two places at that.

While the strategy meeting was in full swing, Ferda was quietly watching them from behind.
Seeing the wall completed, and the command system and situation being organized, it felt like this situation would end any moment now.
"Regent-nim."
Just then, Isabella carefully approached and spoke.

"What is it?"
"Didn't I tell you the Tower Master went to the Blue Eye for a bit to reorganize?"
Ẇ е̊b̆ n̄оv е ľ Е̇ n û ṁ а̄
"That's right."
"Originally she should've returned by now, so I contacted the Magic Tower...... but the Magic Tower is out of contact."
The Blue Eye has no days off.
Isabella, who had been Chief of Staff, knew that situation, and thus knew the unfamiliar situation was serious.
"Something happened at the Blue Eye."
"Yes. So if you permit, I'd like to visit and check the situation, would that be alright?"
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
At Isabella's words, Ferda felt a strange sensation.
As if the Blue Eye was a giant flytrap trap waiting for prey to come.
It would keep throwing bait until the targeted prey came.
And he realized that prey was Ferda himself.
"No. I'll go."
That's why Ferda decided to move personally.

Thanks to Ruri's speed, Ferda stood before the Blue Eye in an instant.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The largest Magic Tower on the Serdes Continent.
The crystallization of magic that all mages want to set foot in.
But to Ferda, who was a late-bloomer mage, it was a distant story.
Only cruel murder was necessary for him who had lived solely for revenge and hatred, and the Blue Eye didn't allow such things.
Еn̂ u m а̃
Standing before the Magic Tower's main gate, Ferda felt a strange feeling.
I must not enter inside.
Survival instincts honed for a long time were saying that.
But at some point, his hand was gripping the doorknob.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
As if reacting that he had no freedom.
"Ruri, I'll go alone from here."
Wе b̊ n̊ о v̆.е̊ĺ Ѐ n̆ ů mа̌
"Yes."
He opened the door and entered inside.
At that moment, Ferda felt a dense resistance wrap around his whole body.
"What is this......"
Everything inside the Magic Tower had stopped.
No, it was moving so slowly it seemed stopped.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
How long this stopped space had been maintained for so long couldn't be grasped.
That much vast magical power was needed, but that couldn't be explained simply by having a lot of magical power.
At the same time, it wasn't an impossible thing.
If it's this tower's owner, it's fully possible.
-Come up.
A voice heard the moment he recognized it.
Е̊_ṅ ü ṁ a. ì ḋ
Resounding through the entire tower, Ferda's body began to float in the air.
Where he headed passed the Tower Master's room and moved to the top floor.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
An absolute domain even an Archmage couldn't dare enter.
That domain felt like being inside a giant lake.
No gravity, and moving by Ferda's will was impossible.
A void zone making one forget all senses.
É ňuḿ а̄ . iḋ
Within that, a large pair of blue lights turned toward Ferda.
Those were undoubtedly eyes.
At that moment, the walls around Ferda were rapidly rotating.
Looking closely, those weren't walls.

It was Iorga's long body circling around Ferda.
Like a snake constricting its prey's breath.
W̌ѐ bn̊ о̇v̇ el Èn̈ ú ḿа
Such a heterogeneous appearance, but no room for doubt.
-You're Valdrova's fiancé?
She is the true owner of the Magic Tower,
The Phase of Water and Magic.
It was undoubtedly Iorga.
"I pay respects to the Great Phase of Water."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
-For that, you don't look very pleased.
"If I've committed discourtesy, I apologize. The situation isn't good."
She hid herself again in the dense place.
The pressuring body also gradually distanced and its form faded.
After a moment, one form began to faintly appear before Ferda.
It was similar to a human's.
Е n û m̄а . і̇d̊
"Come closer."
At those words, Ferda's body felt gravity.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
His body also moved by his will, and he could move as told.
Ferda approached closely, and the form became clear, turning into distinct information.
A woman with the appearance of a foreign princess.
Iorga's characteristic pair of blunt horns like a deer's.
Е̃ nu m̀а̊
However, her complexion wasn't good.
Emotions dried up, a frail gesture that even holding her head up seemed difficult.
Ferda felt the reason she'd sealed herself for a long time.
To not show such a weakened appearance to anyone.

"Sit."
Iorga indicated the chair before her with her eyes.
E n̄ um̂a . ī d
Ferda quietly sat in that seat.
Blue eyes. Vertically slit pupils within them stared intently at Ferda.
"When I saw your face, I thought I knew the feeling...... but to think Godwin's soul really still remains."
"Do you think I am Godwin?"
Her eyes quietly scanned Ferda.
"Not really."

She lowered her head onto her raised knees.
"That bastard is gloomy and unpleasant. In that aspect, you haven't caught up to him."
"That's something to be glad about."
"Hard to be purely glad. Since the situation is like this, isn't it?"
Ferda knew what Iorga was saying.
So he politely asked her.
Ẇе̌ḃ nо̌vеl̄ Ӗnu_m а̃
"What happened to the Tower Master?"
"Erika has been deviating for a long time. Instead of keeping her duty as Tower Master, she's running around like a hoodlum. She's past the age where boiling blood can't be controlled, isn't she?"
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
So she is old.
But he couldn't acknowledge that.
"Tower Master Erika must play an active role as commander in this operation. You wouldn't have stopped her without knowing that fact...... Do you have a justifiable reason?"
"I just explained. Don't you think that's enough?"
Ẁ ӗ b̈n̄ ӧ v́el̄_ Ё n ǔ m̊а
"The monsters of the Far East will indiscriminately target the Serdes Continent."
"You don't listen to me. It's natural for the Tower Master to be in the Magic Tower. The Far East's business is Valdrova's."
"Right now Valdrova has collapsed. Proper response has become impossible because of that. That's why Tower Master Erika is stepping forward. Is that still not enough?"
She gave no answer.

Only a gaze as if everything was merely trivial turned toward Ferda.
It's annoying.
Ĕ n̄ um а̃
That gaze overlapped with his old face, irritating Ferda's mood.
"Shall we play a game then?"
She gestured toward the table with the hand on her knee.
Then forms made of water shaped themselves in the air, adding color and appearing before them.
It was a chessboard.
"You know how to play, right?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
He wanted to flip this chessboard right now.
But his body didn't permit it.
The heavy density felt in the air seemed not to allow such an act.
She has seized this space.
"I know."
"Then let's play. If you win, I'll send Erika."
Еn̈ um а̃. іḋ
"What happens if I refuse?"
"My favor will end here."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Such favor, my ass.
Ferda was about to say that, but the next words shut his mouth.
"Then you won't be able to do anything, and you'll have to watch Valdrova be lost."
He wanted to deny it.
Е.ň ũ m а̂
Wanted to say don't make such pathetic threats.
However
Deep within his danjeon, it was resonating with those words.
So it arbitrarily rose up and whispered in Ferda's ear.

That those words are undoubtedly the truth.
